[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 3838798, member: 30001"] Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean any possible thing you say supports your position. In this case, a logical thing to consider as you make this argument is whether or not an example town is something you need in order to play DnD. I really shouldn't have had to say this. You should care enough about your argument to think of this stuff on your own. I'm sorry you guys have been unable to play DnD in any of it's previous editions and hopefully now that there will be a sample town in the DMG you can start playing so that maybe by 5th edition people will know the difference between the DMG and beginner basic boxed set. So a town is a scenario? I didn't realize that many people were playing evil characters. Or maybe the scenario is "hey, let's go talk to the candlemaker for an hour". Sounds exciting. In any case, you could learn to DM and get an entire scenario plus dice for far less than $90 back in the basic days. It's really strange to me that you all are suggesting that there's such a demand for a town scenario when previously WotC talked like it could barely give away adventures. One of the justifications for the d20 license was that scenarios just weren't profitable. Now you're suggesting that they be included in core rules - so that what? Other people are forced to buy them? It's a matter or priorities. I'd rather them print a 12 page town scenario than leave those pages blank. I'd rather them print the scenario than a 12 page description of James Wyatt's miniatures collection. However, I'm (perhaps foolishly) optimistic in thinking that if WotC tried they could think of something more interesting to do with 12 pages for folks that have spent more than $20 on RPG stuff and perhaps have one or a dozen town scenarios already. In any case, you're not going to get a town scenario for free, which is implicit in your reasoning it seems. [/QUOTE]
