[QUOTE="Mike_Lescault, post: 3716016, member: 51916"] Thanks for the feedback on this. It's important that people know this isn't the case, so I'm going to mull it over and see if I can put it into the right perspective. Off the top of my head, I'd say that different parts of the digital tools are really aimed at specific groups of people: - Those who don't play D&D anymore because their game groups are spread out. - People who are looking to find new members for their group, or new groups entirely. - DMs who struggle with the amount of time it takes for them to prepare their campaigns. - Anyone who enjoys the convenience of being able to build, view, and print their characters on the computer. - People who enjoy having electronic versions of their paper products. I think most people will find some aspect of the suite of digital tools to be helpful for them. On the other hand, everyone will be able to benefit for all the changes and improvements going into 4E. D&D 4th Edition is the real story here, and the digital tools and other D&Di content is receiving more then it's fair of the hype. I think in today's age, visually flashy stuff tends to get the most play with the media and with online communities, because it's easier to grab most people's attention. But the bottom line is that the real story is 4th Edition. Yes, we have lots of cool and neat tools to help people who are interested in those sorts of things, but this is about the evolution of D&D, the paper product you play when sitting around the table with your friends. If any of you folks have suggestions on how we can do a better job of making that clear to people, I'd greatly value your insight on this. -Mike [/QUOTE]
