This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Ok, is THIS WOTC's "Digital Initiative?"
It looks like they are building a website around an elaborate puzzle game based around the story of an alien brain gaining sentience and taking over WOTC R&D?

Am I understanding this correctly?

Does anybody "get" any of this?

One Horse Town

I fancy that this is just the beginning...

Like I said, I think this is just the preview launch. The real stuff comes online in August. It's supposed to be a MySpace/Facebook type thingy for gamers, with a games portal type thing built in.
Download Secret Santicore! (10MB). I painted the cover :)

I'm told that Gleemax is NOT the D&D Digital Initiative.  That will be a separate doo-hickey.  No need to panic just yet.

Besides having the worst name of anything releated to gaming, the site leaves you totally in the dark. If you went an read stuff on there, you would have no fucking clue what it's for or what you are supposed to do there.

King of Old School

Sweet fucking Christ.  That name is so retarded that I'm convinced one of my former dot-com coworkers is behind it.

Is this really what Wizards thinks gamers need?

The wave of the future, baby.
In the future, everyone will exist as energy, they will have a true electronic name . . .

They should have called it "Sue". At least that has a song. :rolleyes:
