[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3482860, member: 32536"] Well, to all WotC people reading this (and Morrus), thank you for this interview. I, at least, found it to be interesting and informative. My suggestions for the Digital Initiative: I know I am going against what other people are sking about on this one, but PDFs are the last thing I want to see for this Digital Initiative. I honestly don't care if I can't download it or "own" it (I used to play MMORPGs, I'm used to that kind of thing), my main concern is how readable and useable it is. Normal website-style content is a lot more functional and comfortable to read than PDFs have ever been. So, even a simple website-style interface for reading through articles would be good. I would prefer to have the content as all-or-nothing. I don't like the idea of "issues" for web content, and would prefer a constantly updated mass of information. Certainly, having access to all previous content from before I subscribe would be essential. I never bought a single issue of Dragon or Dungeon, so I don't particularly care much if content from those publications continue as-is into the Digital Initiative, but I would appreciate more tips on running non-traditional campaigns (that is actually something I could use a whole sourcebook on, but web articles might be more efficient). My biggest request is for a real solid set of tools for playing D&D across the internet with friends. I am about to graduate from college right now, and I am facing the real possibility of having to leave an ongoing campaign (my first long D&D campaign) in the middle of a major plot arc, with years left to go before the campaign'c conclusion. If WotC can put out a product to make playing across the internet easier, it would help me out a lot. And this may be a strange request, but I would also like to possibly see a new campaign setting soon. I never got into the Forgotten Realms, and I am already in the midst of a long Eberron campaign and am seeing less need for more books in that setting, so I would appreciate something new. I think that about covers it... Oh... I also want to say that I don't think WotC is as mistaken in this move as so many people are making them out to be. I really think this is a good idea... as long as the DI is a good product. Edit: I forgot... Please make sure I can use this content while using the Opera browser on my Mac. [/QUOTE]
