Yes, this is the best option I can see is that Nick just sends out the manuscript in PDF form to those who are interested.There are people who DID NOT prepay who would still be willing to pay for any form of RC at all. But then again this would require Nick to stop hiding from us and do something.
I guess you guys broke the bank with those refunds! Must have taken every last copper Nick had since he failed to reup his website. I guess that other job he always goes on about must be a non paid position. Oh well one can only hope that in time the manuscript for RC sees the light of day and we can all get a chance to see what could have been.
to show my feelings about this latest WOTC debacle i made a simple little animated gif that i put on the D&D myspace page... it stayed up for a day before they noticed what it really was saying... so if you missed it here is the url for the gif that was too hot for d&d :) http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k31/god_emperor/dragonfinal.gif
Did any one read this month's Nodwick... it kinda sums this deal up. I also think it is true that an effective boycott would only kill D&D and those WOTC chumps would hold on to the rights and starve us all. its not that I like WOTC, i don't, but they have us by the short hairs so I say that while an all out boycott would be bad in the long run a boycott on ths new "exciting" online schlock would be right on. this reminds me of Council of Wyrms... and you know what? I still hate DRAGONSLAYERS!
I agree with Agamon that this onlie content will be a load of crap. the same kind of junk that they have on wizards.com. I think that this is just a bad thing for gaming. Now we will have no magazine and no REAL sources new content besides wizards... i know that there are still 3rd party publishers but 3rd party books worth getting dont come out with great regularity. I can only hope that some enterprising company will decide to take a chance and fill the very real need for a d20 magazine... but it will never be the same as Dragon.. i mean man i grew up reading this magazine... this is the end of an era-- i wonder what WOTC will screw up next?
Do you know that these stores, like the stores mentioned above, haven't *heard* of the Compendium, or do they just not have it in stock now?-sayeth Vic Well the bookstores have not heard of the book and look at me like im mad. the "game" store i dont know as i didnt ask... too may yu-gi-oh kids betwixt me and the counter... but i have checked several times. i guess i should ask them what the deal is. i know i had a problem getting some Mongoose books that they said they could not get from the distributor. your other post was enlightening, I guess it would be a b**ch to try and get the word out to so many different stores with out the distributors getting onboard.
Man. I live in evansville IN and I cant find the book at the game store or any of four other bookstores in town. I understand that paizo is not a giant company like Wizards/Hasbro but if they are going to be publishing books then with all due respect maybe they should consider hireing a promotions person or even...a marketing department. |
