The blog specifically mentions that most of the functionality will be free.

It sounds interesting. I'll definitely have to check it out once everything is ready to go.

I'll say one thing though, that is one ugly website.

If it's as complete and versatile as boardgamegeek, I'll maybe think about it. But honestly, whoever made the decision on the name needs to be fired and whoever designed the website needs to be shot.

The color scheme seems to cater to the computer game crowd moreso than the rpg people. Hopefully they will have the ability to apply skins or change color schemes. I would not be very interested in looking at neon green on black for any length of time, and it might sound silly, but that would probably keep me from participating much.

Agreed. I plan on "Venting" at the poor Joes who are handling the GenCon booth this year.

Looks interesting.

I've never bothered setting up anything like that anywhere else, but I think I'll give it a go once they have it up and running.

If there's comparable support for the RPG crowd as the pretty impressive planned support for TCG folks, I can see making a page.

The fact that this is supposed to replace Dungeon and Dragon makes me have no interest in it whatsoever.

This is not a fact as we have said over and over. Gleemax is not the Dragon and Dungeon replacement.

I don't think Gleemax is replacing Dungeon and Dragon. Last time I checked neither of those magazines offered a social networking community. Gleemax is one face of the Digital Initiative at WotC.

Some form of online content to replace Dragon and Dungeon will be another aspect of the DI. Apparently you will only need one login and password to access all parts of the DI, but that does not mean that Gleemax = Dragon.
