| kepler4212-03-07, 02:48 PM | What has happened to the Ask Wizards column for D&D? It used to have interesting, puzzling questions that were worth taking the time to read. Anymore, however, they seem more like a marketing tool to pump up support for the latest products. Which might be fine, but too many of the questions have just been boring. I'm becoming far less interested in keeping up. All I ask is that you mix in an occasional puzzling question from earlier material, just to keep the column exciting. Pepper in some questions about the more common products. Maybe even throw up a recycled or "classic" ask wizards, you know, the ones that are always being asked, or where the response is particularly interesting or funny. -Ryan |

| Krusk12-03-07, 03:34 PM | I'm real dissapointed with it as well. I don't care about inn-fighting or three dragon ante. I really enjoyed testing my knowledge of the rules and comparing what my answer is to the ask wizards answer. Now i get Q- "hey how cool is innfighting?" A- "Very cool" Thats not nearly as helpful as questions like " http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ask/20070313a " This is a question that can actually come up during a game session, and being able to remember the answer can streamline a game. |
| kepler4212-04-07, 02:17 PM | Exactly. Here are some others that were either puzzling or interesting in some way...
