[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 3483073, member: 29398"] First, I'll add my voice to the chorus of thanks to Russ/Morrus for his work, and Scott-Chris-Bill for the answers. Second, the answers given were, to me anyway, a good start...we now know there'll be hard-copy compilations, for example...but with one glaring exception: the answer given to "why can't the DI and print magazines exist side by side?" had nothing to do with the question. Russ, guys: want to try that one again? :) Third, what would I like to see (and be willing to pay for, provided that once I'd paid for it it was mine to keep) in the DI: - support for older editions as well as 3e and-or 4e when it comes...make adventures etc. easily convertible, for example; - conversion information to allow material from any D+D edition to relatively easily be converted into any other edition (or ::dreaming here:: a conversion program???); - tables for everything, that include everything but are sortable...for example, a table of magic items that includes every "official" item ever created but that can be asked to give any subset of items e.g. all weapons, or all items under 3,000 g.p., or all items official to Forgotten Realms; some such tables could be magic items, spells, feats, prestige classes, etc. - *this* is the "heavy lifting" that the DI could do best; - adventure ideas, plots, and hooks (I'd prefer adventure *modules* still be hard-printed, preferably in the 1e format of the hard-card outside with the inside-cover map and the separate booklet); - a random dungeon generator. Fourth, what I'd ignore if it appeared in the DI: - online gaming of any kind; - character generation program (even if I were running 3e I'd houserule too much for this anyway); - anything that wasn't mine to keep once paid for; - anything that required payment by paypal. A suggestion, too: if feasible, you might want to run low-bandwidth and high-bandwidth versions of the DI site; not everyone has high-speed access...
