Right now, I'm willing to give it a try... but really want PayPal as paying option.
Cheers, LT.

Poster sized unmarked maps delivered to me for use during a game that does not include "some assembly required". I will laminate them myself.
That was the only reason I bought the few physical copies of Dungeon I own was for the maps.
No matter the quality, a B&W laser printer just won't make paged maps come out.
Otherwise they could include B&W grid pages in the book with custom tiles for adventures and you can print the map for use, but this goes against the tiles product....
But if I needed 20 doors I could print them off from the page with doors for use with the adventure. Even fold-up doors or such to use on regular grid paper.
Tokens would be nice for the monsters, but doubtful since there is DDM.
Many other things as well, but those would be required first.

They'd have to send someone over to do my dishes once a month. Or maybe my laundry.
I own products from every edition of D&D... the one thing I have the least of is published adventures. I had one ancient solo adventure called the Ghost of Lion's Castle when I was a kid, and have one 3rd party publisher 3.0 adventure, the Crucible of Freya.
Why I own it: Early in 3e I got curious and bought a published adventure, for several reasons. One, at the time, with all the 3rd party publishers popping up, I thought I might get into writing adventures and wanted to see the standard format; two, I wondered if I was missing something, because every DM I ever played with and every game I ever DMed or tried to DM involved the DM coming up with his own adventures; and three, they were advertising "first edition feel" and I wondered if maybe I didn't know or couldn't remember what that was, and what the big deal was.
I thought, "these things must be really good if people are actually paying for them." What I learned: Not so much. Not all the time, at least.
To me, RPGs are about what you can create and how you can entertain yourself and your friends with what you create. Published adventures? It feels like cheating.

This is the best one I've heard yet!
Very Nice. (just so you don't think I only focused on this, the rest of the post was good too.
)With the new system, WoTC should have minions to spare. They should offer a free minion with a one year subscription. Then you can have them wash your dishes. Win for everybody.
P.S.: I've got the Crucible of Freya also. It's not too bad. It has some ideas I liked but I never have run it. I guess that should tell me something.
