DDI September/October Update info

[Dice4Hire]

Hi. I'm a DM who prepares power cards for all of his PCs. Guess he's leaving the Dark Sun book with me each week.

Get your own?

I'm hoping for traps and terrain in the compendium. That's still my biggest hangup about DDI.

I'd be royally pissed if that were the case.

Our Eladrin Sorceress might be 50km away right now but I swear I just heard her start sobbing. I can just see her pretty little bottom lip quivering right now.

No Dark Sun? no Essentials? This is getting ridiculous Wizards... waited an extra month for what?

L A M E.

You're right. They should just get rid of DDI and force us all to buy more books.

For them to realize how to finally get the DB stable again with current code.

I bet that's EXACTLY what that means. And that sucks A$$.

Unless you're not running Windows, then it's awesome news! Unless it'll only work on IE, which would make EVERYONE angry (so that's probably what will happen

I've guessed for a while that they'd eventually leverage their WPF codebase for a Silverlight implementation of their current client apps. That would not necessarily mean online-only, but that could be pretty likely, or it could be a hybrid WPF/Silverlight client. Silverlight would definitely solve the cross-platform problem (re: OSX).

It does also imply some kind of WotC hosted cloud storage for characters, which could be interesting.

Curiouser and curiouser.

way too little information to do anything other than guess so I'll save it.

Glad to see some updates.

I notice that no official employee is saying that they don't legally have to update anything so they haven't lost their minds yet.
