[QUOTE="jasin, post: 3483170, member: 7531"] Hey, Dragonslayer. :] Thanks to you WotC folks for answering the questions, and thanks to Morrus for taking the effort to do this. And thanks for joining us on the boards. At first glance, I was kind of disappointed with all the non-committal answers. But some interesting stuff was revealed (or confirmed): DI will accept submissions, it was at Paizo's request that the announcement was made now, and while countering "what can we expect?" with "what do you want?" could be interpreted as clueless and/or evasive, it's a encouraging to see that WotC is interested in our input. And just seeing the interview, and even more, seeing you personally post here means a lot. Even if it's just Eeevil Corporate Psych Warfare in action, it's much nicer to actually be talking to people rather than being faced with a passive voice company announcement at the website. As to what I'd want: First, I want [i]something[/i] to get excited about. Not revealing too much is fine, and asking for input is great, but as Lovecraft would tell you, nothing is scarier than the unknown. So, some tidbit of what's to come as soon as possible, rather than months off. A way to keep the content you paid for even when your subscription ends. Many RPG fans are by nature packrats, and WotC should be aware of this. Why else would they expect us to buy shelves of books and buckets of minis? If I see something I like on the site, I want to keep it for all time, even if I never use it.
