[QUOTE="w_earle_wheeler, post: 3482629, member: 35955"] [b]What do I want from the DI?[/b] What do I want from the Digital Initiative? I've been running (and occasionally playing) in D&D games regularly since 3e was released. Since 2000, I've had three different 5 person groups. In each group, I was the only person who ever (semi-)regularly picked up a Dungeon or Dragon magazine printed in the 21st century. I was also the only person who mined the freebies and articles from the WotC website. So, if anyone in my group is going to get in on the DI, it's going to be me. What I want from the DI is something cost-effective that I can use in my weekly tabletop games. I'll have to print out anything I plan on using for the group, so I expect the subscription price to reflect that. Five bucks a month, max. This isn't a MMORPG after all. I want battle maps and visual aids I can print out, with a low-ink option for most of them. I want more revisions of old modules WITHOUT tie-ins to non core products. I didn't mind the tie-ins/promotions when they adventures were free. If I'm paying for them, that's a different story. I want all the material released in the DI to be open material. I want the DI to have a private community dedicated to refining d20/D&D into a sleek, easy-to-play, OGL ruleset that can stand the test of time. I want the impossible. [/QUOTE]
