[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5443911, member: 98255"] I wanted a definitive statement about what we can expect for new material on DDI, especially as it relates to the material from the cancelled books. That didn't really happen; just more maybes and would-like-to statements. The closest thing to a definitive statement was in regards to magic items, which I understand a lot of people want, but I was interested more in all the [I]other[/I] stuff from the cut books (core Themes, Essentials multiclassing & power swapping, etc). I liked Castle Ravenloft, I expect to like Ashardalon. Legend of Drizzt would have been great when I was 15. Not so much now, but hey, it's popular so more power to 'em if they want to release that. Shelving the Ravenloft box is a little disappointing. Heroes of the Feywild intrigues me. New Monster Vault sounds pretty good. Shadowfell box sounds interesting. Might get it. Neverwinter - zero interest. Next. Gardmore Abbey could be decent. It's in the maybe pile. Book of Vile Darkness has my interest; [I]hell[/I] yes. Conquest of Nerath - I'm undecided. Probably not. Dungeon Tiles - not sold on these yet. I have a vinyl battlemap which I'm pretty happy with. Their emphasis on what people are actively playing and saying that they want to concentrate on that is distressing in that it doesn't address [I][B]why[/B][/I] people are [I][B]not[/B][/I] playing the least popular stuff. [I]Support it and they will come.[/I] I'm not there, so I can't tell them that. I'm in the same boat as many of the others with respect to the statement about Champions of the Heroic Tier and its material being released [I]in a book that was also cancelled[/I] is... confusing, to say the least. That is, unless Hero Builder's Guidebook is not, in fact, cancelled. [I][B]Bloody well say so![/B][/I] It's a simple matter - give a simple answer. Whew. Rant complete. I'm not angry, just anxious.
