Is anyone else getting -very- sick of the upgrades to the game and the retarded amount of money that the books cost. Damn I love to play D&D but everything is hardback now and costs SO much money. Is the mind set that most hardcore D&D players are older and can afford the books at the prices the put them at?

Three words.

Open... Gaming... License.

Let the price hike begin!

Now everyone is trying to make a living off WotC's OGL. Hence all the hardbacks.

There were rumors at last year's GenCon that WoTC was re-doing D&D's mechanics....yep, that's right. D&D 4.0. And the other part of that rumor? It wasn't going to be d20.

I stopped playing at 3.0 a few years ago, not because I disliked the mechanics, but because kids kept popping out of my wife for some reason. :?

After looking at the sheer number of books and game lines associated with D&D, I'm glad I no longer play it. Plus the hack and slash theme of the game no longer appeals to me, especially since I've gotten into werewolf.... 8)

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me?

God I hate WotC with all the fires of hell... i really do.

First they fucking sold out toe Hasbro then they destroyed our gaming Mecca here in Seattle and the fucking up the ass for gamers just kept on going.

I blame the decline of gaming solely on Pokemon!

I wouldn't take those rumors too seriously. There have been rumors that WotC would be launching D&D 4.0 at the next big convention since... probably a few months after the launch of 3.5

Insider information puts 4.0 at late 2008, at the absolute earliest. Given that none of the products I've worked on even mention it, I'd say you're safe for a while.

And for the record, I still enjoy my Eberron and Savage Tides games.
