Title: 4th Ed D&D just like Old School D&D-- when it comes to Cease & Desist Letters
Post by: BASHMAN on February 22, 2009, 05:54:52 AM
So I noticed that Ema's character sheet website was served with a C&D by WotC. Then they declared war on their customers by serving 4epowercards.com with a C&D. Why? Because WotC is making their own CRAPTASTIC powercards. These are hardcopy cards that you can lose, mix up, forget to bring to game, etc, that cost an arm and a leg, that you have to sort through to choose, and in general don't save any time at all.

The cards at 4epowercards.com let you sort by class, level, type of power. You only needed to print out as many as you needed for your character. Forgot to bring them to game? That's cool, just print them out again when you get there, or read from your laptop. The site was also of great help for building your character-- choosing the powers you were going to take. With the Deck of power cards (BTW you will have to bend over to WotC because the Martial Power and PHB power cards are sold separately by class) you would have to sort through card after card to figure out what you want to make your character. No different from flipping through the book (except that the cards are easier to lose than pages in a book).

Well Wizards, this is my message to you "Cease and Desist being jerks". If someone made a free application to help make a D&D character back in the TSR days, they got sued-- but that was the kind of thing you guys used to mock! Now you are turning into that kind of company? You used to be cool Wizards... what happened?
