[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4530844, member: 70778"] Well now that WotC has total control over their free to play event structure that is an introductory as well as international forum for play that allows people to play for free and feel like they are playing with all other participants....(see next reply) They should not have it appear that these are part of the paid for product that is Dragon as a part of DDI. It seems misleading to people who would not otherwise already know. I expect the calendar to say free if it does not require a subscription. Dragon costs money and is not all free, do saying something belongs to Dragon would seem to indicate you need a subscription. By just putting it in the calendar as free even IF the article is compiled into Dragon later, then people will know and prevent system screw-ups when trying to download any PDF that the system will classify as belonging behind the subscription firewall. Building the RPGA up and letting people play in it and handling it correctly will bolster the influence D&D has in the market to help it grow, and every little thing that can do that should be done, even just simply stating on the calendar that this is a free article. The odds someone subscribes to DDI just for the RPGA reports or information is not zero, therefore it should be made to remove all doubt to better promote all 3 products, the RPGA, DDI, and D&D. Its all about keeping up appearances, and I would like to see all 3 treated better with the new LFR that should be able to help promote D&D better for what few gaming stores there are left. [/QUOTE]
