[QUOTE="LeaderDesslok, post: 3482654, member: 18722"] Thanks for doing all the work compiling the questions Morrus, and thanks to Scott, Bill, and Chris for responding. I was hoping for more information about pricing but had a feeling it was still too early to get anything solid. I don't expect we'll get real numbers until August. I would have liked some idea about content structure besides an undecided plan for DRM (which I despise; I barely tolerate watermarking). Will it be PDFs? Unlikely, considering that they expect to have very frequent updates. Will there be a searchable database of posted content? No idea from the responses given. Will it be Open Game Content? Unlikely, considering that nothing WotC has done after the core rules has been OGC (nor any Dungeon/Dragon content). Most problematic to me was the non-answer to the questions regarding the kind of content that will be available. I applaud their "turning the question around" and asking us what kind of content we want to see. However, before they turned it around I would have liked [I]at least[/I] one example of content that is definitely going to make it into the DI. Ultimately, I'm still left with an empty feeling. We got a few definites on things that don't directly impact the DI, like submissions from freelancers. We got some notion of what is still being decided on, like the pricing structure and DRM concerns. BUT when all is said and done, [B][COLOR=Red]we still know absolutely nothing about the content [/COLOR] [/B] of the DI product. [/QUOTE]
