OK. I checked out the Gleemax site…(http://www.gleemax.com)…the new WOTC digital initiative. It is not impressive ,but maybe…just maybe it will be something worthwhile eventually. After checking out the interview done by ICv2(http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/10725.html), I have to say that maybe they are targeting a different audience than me and many other older gamers. On some other boards people have suggested that maybe it will be the myspace of gaming. It might just be a reasonable thing ,but I’m not sure if it (or it’s DnD content…yet to be discussed) will useful to current tabletop gamers….we’ll see.
I know WOTC and gaming in general needs to keep reaching out to new gamers ,but I hope they don’t sacrifice the old fans in order to do that. I also hope that this means that 4e is much further away than was originally intended or like R. Dancey said a few months back, maybe it will be a mostly digital/online version of DnD which will not completely invalidate 3.x as a tabeltop system. Maybe…just maybe we’ll still get paper support for 3.x while the “computer savvy ” generation of young gamers gorge themselves on the online 4e…..maybe?
