[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 3482297, member: 3586"] Hmm. Speaking from experience in the Magic: the Gathering and D&D Miniatures communities, I don't think that's accurate. The online community for games can be very important. DDM has never been served well by magazines. It gains a lot of traction from the online community, and the way Wizards staff interact with the community and do their online previews. Magic is similar. You find stars of the MtG online community - one of those erstwhile stars being Jamie Wakefield, who garnered a big following from his online articles. Indeed, the deckbuilding experience is one that became incredible following the adoption of the internet. (Does anyone else remember the Magic Dojo?) I know that I've turned up at game sessions with hardcopies of information posted on the Wizards site. I don't know of anything that is going to stop me doing that with the Digital Initiative.
