[QUOTE="sakkara, post: 3482927, member: 13021"] I appreciated hearing information from WOTC, but think they were still pretty vague on most of the details, and at this stage (announcement of cancellation made, and ending issues only a few months away), I would expect to be hearing a bit more about the DI than we are. In terms of what I am looking for: * Portability & Price - Price should be directly tied to portability. If all I can do is read it (ie., can't save it, can't print it, etc.), I would only be willing to pay a very small amount ($5/mo.). That amount increases with the more control I have with the information I am paying for. Little DRM on PDF / downloadable content, then some more ($10-20/mo, depending on what it becomes). * No Ads - If you are getting me to pay a subscription for the content, I don't want the landscape littered with spinning twirling blinking ads. Web content is supported by either subsciption or ads, but not both. So if you're making me pay for it -- no ads! * Content - I would like to see similar content that filled the pages of Dungeon and Dragon. Articles, spells, PrCs, feats, class focuses, monster ecologies, etc., etc. I'd like to see artwork mixed in. Having the materials collected, into bundles either of WOTCs choosing or my own is interesting. A character generator (including spells) that has access to all the WOTC material (books/dragons/web enhancements) would be cool or encounter & treasure generators. Material that supports existing campaign settings, as well as the unsupported ones (Planescape, Dark Sun, et al). * Don't care about -- I don't care at all for migration of my actual game to the web. Anything having to do with character libraries, virtual table tops, chat etc., don't interest me in the least. Having some tools there for the DM is fine, but my game is rooted in pen & paper.
