The Dark Times are upon us...

[Mercurius]

The Dark Times, foretold for long ages now, are finally upon us...the long Dark Epoch between November the 16th and February the 15th. What is that, you ask? The yawning gulf of time between the publication of magical tomes of D&D goodness, from the Monster Vault to the Class Compendium...an agonizing period of three long months or 91 long days.

Woe be this Dark Time, and woe be to those who must live through it, huddling in cold darkness as the cruel winter winds thrash and moan outside, holding closely tomes of bygone eras, occasionally casting querulous glances at the codices of other games.

But never fear! Only 70 days remain in this Dark Age! The light is dim now, but soon it will begin to flicker upon the horizon, a promise of what shall be...

Gives me time to spread my purchases out... Specially with chrismas n all.

There's an easy partial solution to this:

Give us preview content in Dragon!

I want to see those themes from Champions of the Heroic Tier.

 

[AntlerDruid]

I too would like to see more previews for upcoming books especially during the months of January & February where there is always a lull in book releases.

More play-tests would be great too.

Dude, there's a Gamma World expansion coming out this month.


Gamma


World.


If these are the Dark Ages, then hand me my infravision goggles so I can play me some Gamma World!

I'm sure we'll have plenty of bug-free and timely updates to the Character Builder and Adventure Tools to tied us over until the Class Compendium

Why would you think that? WotC's track record is spotty right now.

Why would you think that? WotC's track record is spotty right now.

So, yeah.

Actually the Dark Times started a lot earlier. I'd say at about the time WotC Marketing department decided they needed an Essentials product line. It's the Plague of 4e.

Why would you think that? WotC's track record is spotty right now.

My confidence in WotC's ability to bring quality software and online products. Their record stands for itself.

What other company would be brazen enough to put 5-6 extra toggles, in addition to Monster Builder, on their Adventure Tools and only follow through with one after two years? This makes me think their just waiting to put the best stuff out any moment. Keep my subscription fees rolling.
