[QUOTE="phloog, post: 5447491, member: 59219"] (mostly) serious reply: For $300, I would want or expect things like: 1) The VTT to work and to be 'preloaded' with all the content from that month's magazines - dungeon maps, creatures, etc. 2) Combat Simulator (REALLY tough to do, but if we're wishing) - - takes your characters from the character builder, and an encounter from the encounter builder, and just brute force runs it through a few thousand iterations of combat, and gives you a "Difficulty or TPK Index" - clearly it can't consider terrain and other variables (can it?), but it could take a rough shot at it. 3) Same day content - if I can read it online, it exists in the builder, compendium, etc. 4) Just MORE content - - realizing that's vague, have a standard like X adventures per Dungeon issue, and any extremely variant specific (Dark Sun, I'm looking at you and Eberron here) adventures don't count toward that X 5) Printable buildings/scenery a la Fat Dragon's AWESOME STUFF (Buy it now, seriousy!) that we can download and print/build that goes along with the adventures 6) Little Big Planet style community creation tools and network - lets us put things out there for others to play on the VTT if we choose 7) Option for micro-transactions for #6 - - if I want a dime for every time someone plays my adventure, WOTC charges 15 cents and credits me a dime. 8) Dedicated Rules Help Desk -- for $25/month, I should be able to call someone on a Sunday afternoon and resolve a rules dispute Realizing this is asking a lot - - - I should be honest and say that it would have to probably be all of this and MORE for me to spend $300/yr. I'm not saying a smaller package wouldn't be worth it, only that it wouldn't be worth it to ME, since I only get to play 1x/month [/QUOTE]
