The fans were turning away in droves. If it wasn’t for WoTC to come with a rescue and promise that they give D&D back to the fans that D&D did return, and with a renaissance too……. To which I’m hoping that they haven’t given in to the accounts of Hasbro, because they’ve seen what it can do before. Could all this be the start of worse things to come? Mayhap I sound like a doomsayer, but I put it like this…. I am actually a mature age student that is currently studying for a Diploma in Information Technology. If it was in my power to help WoTC (if they would ask for it), I would donate my time to the development of the VTT, if I could, and I’m sure that I wouldn’t be the only one to but my hand up to do so. If WoTC was having such “difficulties” then I’m sure that there are people out there that owe something back to their hobby that they are just dying for the opportunity. </blockquote>
