WotC president Greg Leeds and I!!!

[Mistwell]

Good point. I'd be mollified if they'd just change the name to something more representative, like "Magic: the RPG" or "Hasbro Fantasy Superhero Boardgame" and continue real D&D as a side project.

Ask if he'll do that.

And if they did that, you would cease the majority of your negativity towards WOTC?

I would ask him if PDFs of the old school (1E and earlier) products will be made available again. I would also ask about the possibility of a parallel D&D rules set being released that follows the legacy mechanics and premises, rather than the 4E ones (maybe reprinting OD&D or Classic).

I think the old school products are the best things WOTC has going. They should make them available for sale again, if only in electronic form, so that folks can enjoy them.

I genuinely would. At the moment I feel like a biker who's been primed for the release of a new Harley Davidson line, only to find that all of their bikes will from now on have a silent electric motor, an extra wheel, and a default bright pastel paint scheme with Hello Kitty highlights.

Oh, and the advertising campaign lays claim to the tough, iconic heritage of the new range, as though it's the new and improved generation of a classic brand.

Ask him, if you can and want , what will happen to the dragon and dungeon PDFs. They are going to suffer the same fate that the other pirated pdfs?

Also about the campaign settings, ask him if there's a chance that we can see some more books. Nothing spectacular, 1 book and 1 adventure/year. I like the fact that I won't end flooded in books but having a bit extra of info each year is nice.

Oh, and if at the end of E3 there will be new adventures, starting with a new H1, (h4 perhaps?) and the others.

Scales of War will ever go to old dead tree format? There's a book announced with the best of Dragon, having the Scales of War campaign in paper could be awesome. Well, it'll need 2 or 3 books

And the most important info: how many 4ed players are needed to change a bulb, compared to the amount of players of 3.x that were needed to change a bulb, how has changed the bulb hobby with the release of 4th and what are they going to do to help the bulbs brick and mortar stores, damaged by the bulb piracy and the Amazon Bulb store.

And to all that 4th bulb edition haters out there: with 4th ed my bulbs shine brighter and me and my bulbers fellows of my bulbing group have tons of fun.

Please thank him for taking the time to address these issues with you (and, by extension, us).

One question I have is whether the selling of PDFs was profitable in the first place. There's a significant infrastructure behind the scenes, all of which costs money.

In case my request got lost in the shuffle here:

Brix- Could you post the note you sent Hasbro so we can see what prompted Mr. Leeds to respond? I think we could all offer more constructive input if we see what caught Hasbro's and Greg Leed's attention enough to wish to speak directly to you and build from there.

This forum needs padded walls.

Why, do they keep out threadcrappers and trolls?

 

[Plane Sailing]

Should we close the thread, or will people stop taking cheap shots at one another?

No further warnings in this thread. Behave or it gets closed, and the one causing the closure is likely to get a short suspension.
