[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 3846755, member: 6061"] I got all excited about a thread about piracy IN D&D and started reading about piracy OF D&D. Oh well, I will look for scurvy content elsewhere. ;P I don't know if I will buy the Wizard's Presents books. I am one of fools who still has the Dragon issues with the previews for 2E and 3E that were purchased strictly for the preview articles. I also got some neat content to go with the previews but they were bonuses. I always understood these books to be concept art and design philosophy articles. I may be wrong, but that's what I have gleaned from blogs, forum posts and the assorted gleemax article. Some other people seem to have questions about the content. There is an opportunity for WotC to answer some questions and Scott will most likely pop in with a few more answers. I'll go out on a limb and say that these preview books will most likely will have no useful gaming content in them come June. Other than inspiration for house rules if you liked something from an earlier iteration of the rules or dropped story options like the tome as a foci for wizards. I am leaning towards getting the preview books to see what might have been in 4E. The possibilities of a thousand different variations of 4E. The preview clips on DDI have been keeping my interest and speculation meter pinned to high. I think the WP books will give a needed spark in the winter until DDXP and the sample game of 4E LFR.
