Paypal It's coming, when it's here, I'll use it. Auto-Renew I'd like to have the ability to subscribe for a fixed period without having Auto-Renew required for my subscription. I won't mind a reminder to purchase additional months on the back-end of my initial subscription, but I'd rather not have my account charged automagically. I'm not particularly interested in having to take two or three additional steps immediately after subscribing to cancel auto-renew... I'd rather just uncheck a checkbox when I'm subscribing. Full vs Web I want to know what the Full subscription will include, what it will cost, and what a Web subscription definitely won't include or will include as it becomes available. Back Issues I'd like to know what back issues of Dragon/Dungeon will cost. I'd like to know if I have to purchase a complete compilation of just one or the other, or if I can purchase specific articles individually. Demos I'd like to see demos of the new features as they become available. This could be as simple as a detailed walkthrough consisting of screenshots and/or video showing me all the features of the application... not necessarily access to a limited-feature version. I just want to see in more detail what I'd be getting. Reviews Much in the same line as the Demos, I'd like to hear the voice of the community telling me how great things are. I'm not much of an early-adopter, I'd like to hear that other people feel that there's value to the product offered. Fortunately, there appears to be no censorship of unhappy customers here, so this shouldn't be a problem over time. Deployment Schedule For the new tools (Character Builder, Visualizer, Game Table), I want to know what I get and when, especially if I sign up for the FULL sub. I'd also like to know how that changes my pricing... especially if, say, the Visualizer and Builder are available and the Game Table is not for an extended period. More on the Game Table Content Pricing More on the content, availability, etc of the Game Table. If I have a gaming group, or want to run one, I'd like to know if everyone needs a sub, or just the DM needs a sub, or whatever. I'm very confused about early discussions regarding pay-for-content in regards to miniatures, etc... do I get a full app or do I need to perpetually purchase additional content? I'm not really expecting nor demanding full and complete disclosure as a response to this post... this is just pretty much an open "here's what I'm looking for, answer what/when you can, please?"

As far as I know, the full subscription will include everything already available, as well as all of the tools, including the game table. It is still being considered at $15/mo.

Fortunately, there appears to be no censorship of unhappy customers here, so this shouldn't be a problem over time. One of the things that convinced me to subscribe was the reviews of the new articles that came out since the subscription started.

The current word is that microtransactions for the game table are done with, in particular, there will be no charge for v-minis. Last I heard, everyone needed to buy a sub to use the game table, although there was a "24-hour pass" idea at one time. I assume they won't focus too much on this until they actually get the game table close to release.
