And I think that's what needs to be done at WotC. A little arse kicking.Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't an anti-WotC rant, nor an anti-4e rant, this is simply a state of the union address. I see WotC on a slippery slope at the moment that reminds me of TSR circa 1990.They seem to be making a lot of promises and delivering on very few of them.The GSL, yet again delayed. DDI... will we ever see it? Advertising & marketing have been pretty damned spotty I would say. The less said about the website and Gleemax the better.And then there's a lot of issues I've seen raised about the quality of the core books. Issues brought up by professionals who know what they're talking about. This despite promises that they were going to be utterly excellent and better than everything else before them.I really like the new game. I think as a system there are very few flaws in it. I think they did a very good job on it. It might not be every person's cup of tea, but I honestly feel they've made a very good game.But everything else seems to have been flumphed.It reminds me of TSR because I remember a lot of gamers who were trying to be business-people. And failing. I remember a lot of business-people trying to be gamers. And failing. The whole mess ended up in TSR dying and WotC taking over.It also reminds me of Apple circa 1997, just before Steve Jobs came back to the helm and turned the company around from a $12 share price to a current $172, and that after having been split, I think, four or five times now?Some leadership in WotC, I think, really wouldn't go astray right now.</blockquote>
