[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 4025610, member: 22260"] No, its not that. They are not that young, and we are not that old. If "cool" is anything to go by, they may actually have the edge in age. It has been pretty unsmooth. Remember: we are the hardcore. Not some hypothetical "young person" who probably has limited inclination to start playing in the first place. In the past, ENWorld has been strongly receptive to, well, just about everything game related, especially D20. Probably no where else on the internet is as open to new D20 stuff. And some of the complaints are right: Gleemax is so buggy and has such limited functionality its silly (I have become a big scooper here because I actually have the patience to use it), DDI has been a series of broken promises littered around some decent articles, the talking points (not just "cool") repetative and not backed up by enough evidence, we are getting a series of minivideos right now that say almost nothing...and then there is Andy Collins and his email. Is Mr. Collins in marketing? Why is he involved in this? But its not all bad. We have learned a fair amount, seen some decent art and small glimpses of interesting mechanics. They have a few months. And if there is one positive takeaway: Hasbro or no Hasbro, WotC still comes across like a company run by hobby enthusiast. [/QUOTE]
