[QUOTE="Aegeri, post: 5322905, member: 78116"] This isn't exactly a legitimate defense. I run three games of 4E but I don't play it (ironic I know) so the player material is mostly something I look at for designing my own stuff. Given that much of what is published in Dragon lately is terribad, that's not much to go on. Dungeon lately has been a travesty, with the exception of the excellent Eberron and Dark Sun articles this month the past 3-4 months have been awful. Where are my Demonomicon articles? Articles on various nefarious Gods? Even the maps are going downhill as they are either covered in word vomit or they're dungeon tiles based. So I really need the tools to make it feel like my $10ish NZ a month is going to a good cause. They are invaluable in my IRL game and some of my players are waiting on content in there to make their characters. What am I do to, tell them they can't retrain and punish them for the fact Wizards delayed the tools? Or allow them to make a character that next week is going to be entirely different once they actually can get all the material? Again, these players don't have the books themselves - if it isn't in the CB it doesn't exist for them (they make the characters on my laptop so I have a copy of their mans when making the game too!). This is totally unfair to P1NBACK and indeed anyone else who complains about this. We aren't entitled to updates and that is absolutely true. But we are entitled to make it known we aren't happy about things being delayed. I'm hardly one to run riot out the front of WotC with a placard and yelling "DEATH TO MIKE MEARLS [and Capitalism]", as I'm a pretty ardent supporter of Wizards and all things 4E related. But there is a point that even I have to say that I'm disappointed, especially when I don't feel I'm getting fair value out of either magazine. [/QUOTE]
