[QUOTE="ShadowDenizen, post: 2462987, member: 16485"] One: Commit whoe-heartedly to the sucess of D+D. Don't rest on your laurels. Realize what made you popular to begin with, and realize what caused D+D to almost sink into oblivion. (I personally would like D+D to be more "Fantastic" and less "Gritty", but that's just me..) Two: DON'T release 4.0 for a good long while. The transistion from 3.0 to 3.5 was too soon, and a HUGE pain in the *** for most people I've talked to. Three: Create a Character Generator that ACTUALLY WORKS. I dislike making charactes anyway, but now it's actually a chore. (It's not at the Ars Magica level yet, but it's not far off!!) An "Electronic Support" division might not be bad, either. Four: Commit to quality products, at a reasonable price. Realize that people actually USE stat blocks provided, and that they need to be correct. (It's up the DM to fudge if s/he chooses to!!) Realize that it's NOT OK to butcher the English language in your products, even if it is "just" a gaming book. Five: Create "Actual Play" groups to go and run min-adventures at local stores. They could supply pre-generated characters, dice, advice, and maybe some other little extras provided by WotC. (An "Actual Play CD/DVD" (as mentioned by other posters) would be a good start. (I know they have their own take on this already, but it doesn't seem to be high-visibilty.) Six: And I'd get behind the "Complete Book of Squirrels" AND "Squirrels of Legacy". [/QUOTE]
