[QUOTE="Aeolius, post: 3942457, member: 2072"] My current chat-based D&D campaign has a half-vampire sea elf, a half-fey sea elf, a mermaid, a sea elf, a sahuagin, a warforged, and an oceanid (race of my own design). For obvious reasons, I do not allow core races in my game at all, at least for use by players. The game, as with the majority of my other campaigns, is set in the World of Greyhawk. I do not object to change. My prior PbP campaign, also set underwater, switched from the 1e rules to 3e rules almost overnight. I do object to the notion that WOtC wants me to abandon my current campaigns and begin anew. WotC also wants me to purchase a new Intel-based Mac and a copy of Windows, to run the D&D Insider apps. No thank you. It isn't my fault that they chose to design the VTT and Character Generator, in such a way that Mac users are excluded. I realize that one does not need the D&DI apps to play 4e, but WotC doesn't need to be so narrow-minded in their program design, either. When I can convert my current campaign, then I'll consider 4e. 4e needs Stormwrack, Savage Species, and the Greyhawk Gazetteer, to be a viable solution for my campaign needs. A conversion manual, "The Grognard's Guide to playing 4e (like 3.5e)", would also be helpful. 4e needs cross-platform support for all of their applications, before I will subscribe to the D&D Insider.
