Does anyone else think that WOTC is mismanaging D&D? With the wealth of knowledge that has been built up over the years, I cannot understand why they can't even put their products together right. In some cases, all they have to do is re-package past materials and update the stats to 3rd edition! But instead they continue to publish incomplete books with often times useless information, while forgoing good stuff from the previous products.
For example, Monster Manual and Monster Manual II has a lot of worthless monsters in there and yet excludes so many great ones they had in the past. Now Necromancer Games is coming out with Tome of Horrors to fill in any gaps. Why are there ANY gaps in the first place??? Really, I don't know why they included monsters with names like the "Choker", "Cloaker", or "Digester" in Monster Manual and "Breath Drinker", "Dark Clutcher", and "Deathbringer" in Monster Manual II. And yet they left out monsters like the Aerial Servant, Brownie, Hippocampus, Kelpie, Leprechaun, Mongrelman, Nereid, Spriggan, and Yeti.
Also, with all of the information they had in past materials, why couldn't they come out with a better Stronghold Builder's Guidebook? It doesn't even include stats tables from prior hardcover rulebooks.
And why is it so difficult to find product information on WOTC's web site? I can't even navigate around to get previous news on past releases. Where is that article about Monster Manual II that was just there a couple of weeks ago? I had to find it through another web site's link!
Am I alone on feeling this way about WOTC?
