[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 3467136, member: 4"] This isn't as clear and simple as Dungeon and Dragon going online or PDF. It's about the current people behind those magazines not having any input, and it's about WotC's poor track record with electronic gaming tools. It's also about unknown factors, like whether I will have to pay for "everything" in order to get the one or two things I really want. And whether they will be asking me to pay for things I previously got for free, or could easily get elsewhere (oodles of good ideas from the gaming community). It's also about the possibility that for them the most valuable content will be their closed content, and that as more D&D stuff is published, a smaller and smaller percentage of it will be usable by third-party publishers who are doing a quality job but simply can't use the new material for legal reasons. Someone's likely to make the decision that closed content is more valuable than open, which does not bode well for an open 4th edition. Gonna wait and see, but I voted that I don't think WotC will hit a homer with this one. [/QUOTE]
