[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4295865, member: 5202"] Congrats on no issues w/the encounter system. We had issues w/things not matching up right to be an appropriate match or else we had something that in theory was lower level than us that wiped us out due to group makeup. Some weird cat things is the specific example I'm thinking of, not a bunch of undead when we lacked a Cleric. Altho, not having a Cleric def made those fights harder than their CR said. The part of this that I really don't get is that you take issue w/their tone when it isn't even an issue for you. It comes off (esp in text) like you were just looking for something to get offended by. That may not be the case at all, just saying how it could come off to those reading along. I do know there are some folk out there who really do want to convert in progress campaigns, but I remember how horrible the conversion guide for 2E-3E was, so I didn't bother then and wouldn't bother now. Bands intentionally leak albums to P2P networks to drum up interest. Heck, when Nine Inch Nails was doing their alternate reality game for the release of Year Zero, they were planting USB drives at concert venues w/songs on them. It was part of their marketing campaign. Then their label started trying to go after the people hosting said files on the web. Left hand/right hand situation completely, but it wouldn't be the first time things were leaked in this manner. No that was clear. Those were the peripheral I was referring to as well. Altho, the long line of settings and classes and other things they want to release are truly peripheral compared to the core books as well. My point had been that those things are coming down the line as well ;_) I should say, my post wasn't intended as a "WotC sucks!" tirade, or even a "WotC's marketing sucks!" tirade. However, I do think the marketing could have been a whole lot better, so gave the specific things I felt could have been done better.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
