... in the form of another hardcover book.
Voting with our dollars is the best way to say what we think to WotC. I encourage you to do the same.

I like that Idea wotc has done us a great disservice and needs to feel our displeasure for their ill advised strategy .

I agree with the sentiment, but how are they going to know that you bought S&W?

I, for one will mail them my receipt, with an explanatory note.

I vote with my dollar by walking past 4E books at the store without opening them. Now if WotC would hire some real talent and produce AD&D modules, it'd be a different story.

I haven't been buying from Wotzee in awhile. My last purchases from them was the beginning of my OD&D collection which slowed down when money got tighter. As a rule though I have only been buying from TLG and when I get some cash on hand some S&W stuff. This recent turn of events has actually put me off completing my OD&D pdfs when or if they ever get released again.
It would take something big for me to even consider buying from them again.

As much as we like to lambaste WotC, S&W wouldn't be possible without the OGL which was entirely orchestrated by WotC. The OGL is a move TSR would NEVER have made, ever, well not after Gary and crew had to sell.
I've just been thinking during this last year that we've been doing a lot of remembering who gave us these great gifts of gaming, we should remember that we owe a debt to WotC as well.

I agree with the sentiment, but how are they going to know that you bought S&W? It wouldn't matter for them to know about "me", in particular. If enough of us vote with our dollars, however, WotC will notice, if that's not already the case. As much as we like to lambaste WotC, S&W wouldn't be possible without the OGL which was entirely orchestrated by WotC. The OGL is a move TSR would NEVER have made, ever, well not after Gary and crew had to sell. I agree. Bear in mind that none of the people responsible for the OGL still work at WotC, however. Today's WotC is not the 2000's WotC. Its attitude is more akin to T$R's right now, I believe. |

That is true and I have been feeling a disturbance in the force. As if an old evil long forgotten has returned...
