[QUOTE="Larcen, post: 1324272, member: 2406"] I have another idea for 4.0. I feel so STRONGLY about this one that I ask people to please forgive all the caps used below. [PLEAD] TO WOTC: PLEASE post the SRD4.0 FIRST, before you print the books. Make them available for a good 3 months or more. Invite the enormous amount of players and rules experts that are out there to PLAYTEST AND CRITIQUE the proposed new rules. There will be lots and lots of people that would love to that, for free. Then WATCH the boards and chat rooms (your own only if you like) and get a FEEL for what people like or don't like about the newly proposed rules. Take polls on touchy areas that arise. AFTER the game community at large has had a time to review, and test, and debug, and balance, and offer input, then and only then send the perfected 4.0 rules to the printer. Trust us, WOTC, you will get MORE sales of the new book this way, not less. I did not buy 3.5 because I kept reading how a lot of people were unhappy with what they felt were bad judgement calls here and there. Well I for one, would feel MUCH better buying a book that I know has had the ENTIRE D&D gaming community involved in the making. We would all feel we had a hand in making this new game great instead of feeling it's just another set of rules that were sprung upon us and now must live with. Go ahead. Be different, again. Take the marketing risk. The rewards WILL be there. Thanks for listening. [/PLEAD] I say we should all start signing petitions or something. [/QUOTE]
