Re: Less handy, requires more time to find information

The editorial style is amusing, and I think the current style would benefit by taking a half step back to include the icons and/or other content flags.

The "sections", as I mentioned earlier, are the same. The d20 logo identifies the d20 system news; there's a software logo for the software news. I've never had a logo for site news, community news or reviews. I might look for some.

I, too, liked the list of upcoming WotC products. It was easier to see what was due out and when, so I could budget my $50 per month RPG budget (hey, I have a full-time job, OK?) ahead of time.

It's just one click away - WotC's product schedule. In my opinion, the whole page was just too cluttered, and people couldn't find anything (even me, sometimes!); so I trimmed it down as much as possible.

Or, as someone just said to me: "Anything that makes sure the site can stick around, IS a service to the readers"

I'll second that!

I like the current layout. It's simple, fast-loading, and easy to find the places I want to go on the site. Good design, I like it much more than the old one.

In terms of narrative, you've found a good stride. I'm already acclimated to the new style, your use of paragraphs is excellent for helping to find content. Having said that, I skip less, since you've stopped doing the press release stuff. And finally, it does come across with more character and seems more personal than the old format.

Good work.
