Discussion: World of Warcraft’s D&D book keeps Azeroth, not MMO rules

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

Blizzard’s tabletop crossover adds races, subclasses, spells and dungeons, while designer James Wyatt says it is a “paraphrase” of WoW rather than a direct translation.

Read the full story. What do you think?

This is the correct way to do it. A direct MMO port would fail because D&D is about choices, not cooldown rotation.

Raj1997, exactly. The best part is they seem to understand that loot chase and endless boss resets are terrible tabletop pacing.

I agree on the pacing, but I still want the book to preserve some sense of progression. If every fight is just a one-off set piece, Warcraft loses part of its identity. The sweet spot is making the party feel like they're pushing through a zone, not farming it.
