Hello. D&D hotline.

Yes.. I…I…just want to end it all.

Sir, please stay on the line with me.

Okay.. so its not like that. But I read today in my WOTC RSS feed that there is going to be a test run for a few days of a new service.. the D&D Hotline.

Here’s part of the text from the official page.

If you have a question about running 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, whether it’s a technical rules quandary, or would simply like to improve your DMing skills, here’s your chance to speak directly with the folks at Wizards of the Coast! Expert DMs—including R&D’s Mike Mearls and Rob Heinsoo—will be on hand to field your calls on the DM Hotline.

I wonder if WOTC is testing the waters to see if there would be a need/market for a (wo)manned line available for those playing a little 4e that get stuck. Could WOTC be using data, such as are people calling with game mechanic questions, or just asking how to improve their game play?

If its becomes a dedicated line with scheduled hours, how much would YOU pay to call such a service?
