[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3464228, member: 4134"] We'll remember April 19th, 2007: The Day the Dragon Died. Though I must say I share some other poster's optimism: It might turn out alright in the end: Hasbro/Wizards screw this one up big time, D&D will become worthless for them, they sell it, and someone else buys it and sets things right. Yeah, and now the better and better material will be killed so people buy more of the decreasing quality stuff. [B][I] So? They've mortally wounded it already. Why not perform the mercy killing, so the Phoenix that is D&D can rise up from the ashes? You said it yourself: Paizo has been churning out stuff that got better and better, while Wizards' stuff got worse. And Paizo won't be producing that e-zine. No, I don't haul anything anywhere. We play in my Dungeon. Lots of paper storage facilities available. I don't want to be forced to use a computer to read my RPG books. They're unconfortable in bed (and if I fall asleep and push it out of the bed in my sleep, it won't just have a dog-ear) and on the Throne. Some things I prefer the good old way. Until the MultiMedia House is common (with big flat-screens in the bathroom wall and all that), I'll stick to paper. You sound like Wizards' Minister for Propaganda. :p I'm always wary of people telling me I only have one choice. There's always another choice. Blindly supporting their new thing certainly isn't our sole choice, and I doubt it is even the best. You look up phone numbers in the Phone Magazine? ;) Mailbomb? ;) No, seriously, I hear the best thing to do in cases like this is to write an actual letter - their online contact mechanism sucks, anyway. And you can always "vote with your wallet". Stop buying Wizards stuff. Combine that with the letter. Maybe draw up a list with your purchases in the last 12 months, and the stuff you would have bought in the next 12 but which you will not buy now because of their politics.[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
