How about a deadline to WotC?

. . .He's got a great idea - pink walls, disco lights and a constant WWII air raid alarm going off at the head of the bed.

Damn, that was so my idea! Now I'm going to have to come up with a different idea to decorate my house. Damn, Damn!

No it has value because the monsters and NPCs used in the story are crucial to them.

Fine. Use your unique monsters and NPCs without deriving from WoTC's work. Put them in a novel. Invent your own game system.

If they truly have value of their own, you can do that. I suspect that by doing that you will realise that they have no value, which is why you want to use the power of the brand name.

By definition, their intrinsic value, if any, can not derive from another proprty. The bits that are uniquely yours (not borrowed from D&D) you can do what you like with.

Release your bestelling new game system or novel with its intrinsic value. The market will tell you what value it has. I hope you do well.

I thought you said we were dropping the hypothetical?

What? The adventure is hypothetical, as well as the data? I thought you had an adventure you wnated to release.

So you have no data and no adventure?

I'm going to bed.

No I have a half completed adventure, but it seems it must be trash and should remain hypothetical since "i am teh suck" compared to everyone around here.

just curious man, is english your first language? i ask not to be a smartass, but as a possible explanation to why there is so much confusion in understanding your posts, which may be leading to arguments or disagreements which do not need to be.

 

[Cadfan]

Right, yeah, that's what we're saying. Your worth as a human being in every aspect of life is determined entirely by whether you win this argument on the internet. That includes your worth as a writer of D&D adventures.

Online D&D forums- serious business.

Speaking with all due respect, I doubt that someone who doesn't like 4e, doesn't have much experience with 4e from a DM's perspective and would most likely be hesitant to design an adventure that fits with 4e's core assumptions could deliver a quality adventure that would appeal to fans of the game.

That's so brutal...

Sorry mate, you really sound like a nice chap, and I am sure you will produce some great 4e products

hugs?
