[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 3474747, member: 2067"] Some great Q's here. I apologize if these have been asked before. -- How will the DI affect current "gratis" material? Will WotC take away what we get for free and start charging, or will some features remain free as "teasers" for what is available for subscriptions? -- How much (general ballpark)? Will there be a sliding scale for those who want particular items but not others? For instance, if someone wants access to some of the rules material, but doesn't need a digital tabletop, will there be the ability for them to buy one without the other at a reduced price? If I want access to a single article, can I just buy that without a subscription? -- Technology. The recent D&D Online and e-Tools experience was...less then stellar. I want to be assured that whatever this is, it will be technology +1. I don't need many specifics, just reassurance. :) Will this be a different model from previous electronic D&D initiatives? -- OGL Support. How much of this new stuff will be open content? Will there be features focusing on great 3rd party open content? Will you give back to the community? -- Offline Support. How much of this will I be able to access when I'm sitting in someone's basement with my laptop and they don't have a wireless hotspot around? -- What won't I be able to use in 10 years? This is related to both going electronic format, and with regards to DRM (switching computers, downloading material, etc.). One of the great things about D&D is that I can go back and read something from 1e or 2e or OD&D and still apply it in my game today. Will I be able to do that with this material? Will it be preserved for the forseeable future somehow? [/QUOTE]
