D&D 5E Lets go WotC!!!

[Erik Mona]

Precisely.

There are a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

First, let's see your release schedule for the rest of 2014 (including product details).

Second, what is the electronic plan for 5e? A DDI-type system? Will all hardcopy releases also get a simultaneous PDF release? Will there be hardcopy-only and/or PDF-only releases?

Third, what will the licensing be like. OGL? GSL? SRD?

Edit: what's up with the magazine too.

Yep, any time WotC want to tell us, that would be just dandy.

Until then, I think I'll continue to assume the worst: the products are badly delayed, there will be no 5e DDI tools or third-party license worth using, and without the DDI tools the magazines won't be worth producing. (The one good point is that I can't imagine WotC not making the products available in some electronic form, probably PDF, so that's fine... if the products ever come out.)

Okay Wizards of the Coast let's get this started. Today we are two months from the initial rules release for 5e (Starter Set on July 15th). There are a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

First, let's see your release schedule for the rest of 2014 (including product details).

Second, what is the electronic plan for 5e? A DDI-type system? Will all hardcopy releases also get a simultaneous PDF release? Will there be hardcopy-only and/or PDF-only releases?

Third, what will the licensing be like. OGL? GSL? SRD?

Let's get some answers to these important questions your customers want to know.

Edit: what's up with the magazine too.

Note: This thread is tongue-in-cheek (but the questions are serious).

At this point I've kind of lost interest and will look at it when it arrives. In the meantime I've gone back to playing Pathfinder and 1E

Gygax, obviously. Presumably, the first four minutes would be spent figuring out how to placate his ghost, and then the fifth minute spent doing so.

The reaction roll is vital, though. "I am..." rolls "...pleased to see you. Anyone for a game of D&D?"

 

[DMZ2112]

Oh soon! Well, I am glad that's settled then. If someone had just said soon earlier, none of this would have been an issue.

We should call the new edition D&D Soon.

We should call the new edition D&D Soon.

I like it.

Or D&D We-can't-talk-about-specific-products.

 

[DMZ2112]

I like it.

Or D&D We-can't-talk-about-specific-products.

On second thought, there might be some confusion with the edition of the game where everyone plays a specialty priest of the Faerunian goddess of beauty and love, or the edition where DDI is only accessible through a Microsoft digital media distribution platform.

How about the It's D&D (To Me) Again Edition.

Nice. Now say it out loud three times as fast as you can.

 

[Nytmare]

Many funny things...!

Will somebody please XP Kamikaze for me?

And somebody else say something funny enough for me to give them XP so that I can start heaping it on Kamikaze again?
