Though I agree that it sounds a bit on the tight-lipped side, what does concern me is that it's been in development for a year and they're not able to really announce what's *going* to be in it. Even a little. Even what they're looking at. It might not be the case, but it makes WotC sound like they went in a little half-cocked, pre-emptively saying "no more Dungeon and Dragon mags!" before they had much of a clear idea of where to go from here.Some of the side-concerns have been very well addressed, but I still don't know what this is going to *do* for me. What's it's selling point? Why do I want it? What's the core plan for this DI?A lot of the stuff posted in the first page is stuff that would get me to want it. MySpace style campaign pages, online tabletop play (with voice chat or similar), the ability to pop in some weekend and join an e-game would be great. Character generators, online databases for my books, the ability to edit rules online so that I can easily set up (and see the effect of) house rules.Part of the problem with that is that D&D's forays into software have been largely lackluster. I've got no real confidence from past successes, here. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I guess what kind of unnerves me is that they decided to stop making a product people paid money for before we know what we're going to pay money for next. I have no idea what this next stage of D&D supplement will even resemble. I'd like to be excited for it already, but I've got nothing to be excited for, no reason to look at the horizon. There's just vague promises and no more Dungeon or Dragon. It's a bit freaky not knowing if those vague promises are going to pay off.Tell me they're going to pay off, and give me reason to believe you, and I'll jump on your side, but saying "just trust us" doesn't really cut it. You just broke some hearts with these cancellations. I'm not just going to trust you. But I want to. Give me a reason to. Give me some content.</blockquote>
