WotC, really? No...really? You can't maintain a publishing schedule?

WoTC will no longer be making minis?

Forums posts over at WotC by Trevor (I think) says even more, that these arent magazines anymore, and will NOW be going through the same proofreading and editing process as printed books will. Meaning they were never really properly edited before, but the magazines are gone and it is only online articles behind the DDi paywall equivalent to the old free content, jsut that it isn't free.

There will be new content daily, but when each comes out will be updated in the calendar AFTER the article is out, and info will be given each week what "content" to "expect" to see that week.

THE Dragon, and Dungeon are officially dead.

Dragon Jun 1976~Jan 2011
Dungeon Sept 1986~Jan 2011

Is this a move towards counters?

My read is that they will continue to do collector sets like the recent beholder offering, but that the "regular" sets are done.

I was stunned by the mini's revelation as well. There will be some, just in the board games and collectors sets.

The board game format seems to be gaining steam.

These, too, are stunning revelations. I've created a thread to address all of these events, ideally as a whole here:

I primarily wanted to address WotC's backpedalling on the ezines here myself, but feel free to bring up whatever you like in either thread.


Man, I'm so confused.

So how do we think digital Dungeon and Dragon have worked out for WotC?

I personally dropped my subscription when they went digital, and have no plan to go to DDI ever, but I'd resubscribe to both magazines if they went back print, doubly so if the license went back to Paizo.

I believe the Paizo ship has sailed on those mags, and they've got their own stuff going on with Pathfinder, but if we're talking hypotheticals, then give the publishing license to the only other group whose proven capable of quality electronic rpg magazines with 4e content: Kobold Quarterly. Redirect the Midgard project into a 4e campaign setting with full WotC support. Heal many wounds.

I'm a little confused by how releasing more board games is considered an even exchange for cutting some of the books. ...unless the intent is to take 4E in more of a board game style format...?
