[QUOTE="Christoph the Magus, post: 3709879, member: 1480"] Here are my initial thoughts, although they're not nearly as well thought out as yours: 1. I've barely begun to explore all of the options in 3.0/3.5. I'm interested in 4th edition, but first I've got to finish my current D&D game, start a D20 Modern game, maybe a superhero game, etc, etc. 2. I have a game group (2 in fact) that I meet with face to face 4-6 times per month. I don't WANT to play online. If I did, I'd be doing it right now through WoW, or some other computer game. 3. I'm VERY interested in a good character generator (kind of what Master Tools/eTools was supposed to be), but as a stand alone product that I buy and install on my computer, not as part of a package that I have to use online and where only 25% of the information is useful/interesting to me. I paid a total of about $70 for etools (once you add in all of the extra bundles I bought) and I can use it for D&D and D20 Modern forever. I'm not paying $120 a year just to have a character generator-I don't care how pretty it is. 4. The thing I liked about Dungeon and Dragon magazine was that I could flip through during a game (like when my PC was held, dead, etc) and if I saw something interesting enough that I wanted to own the mag I could head over to the FLGS and pick it up. I usually only wanted 1-3 issues a year. I'm not interested in paying for everything only to find 10-20 articles that I really want. [/QUOTE]
