I still think "Midway" refers to "midway through the initial publishing plan" as opposed to "midway through the edition" (as some people fear).

Yea. The PHB is still selling like gangbusters on amazon. Around here it's still selling good. In fact some stores have been trying to keep up with the 7set dice demand and failing. That to me was stunning news. I wonder what it's like world wide. I certainly see quite a few new dice manufacturers and sellers on Amazon, more than I ever remember before.

I bookmarked them for a screen shot. Not ideal but I don't know how to make the tabs show the full title. erk.

Yeah, looks pretty clear that Midway is the major rules expansion.

I've owned a comic and game store for over 23 years. We haven't had an edition where the core books sell this well 3 years in.

What's even more awesome, is how the *Starter Set* sells. I move a few of those every week. Which means, not only is the game still doing well, it's still *growing*!

Which did kind of irk me. I am sure that there are good reasons, like deadlines, but it seems to me that a month would be a reasonable amount of time before closing the surveys. As long as they got what they need I suppose.

Another thread had me thinking... I can see "Dust" being a Deserts of Desolation remake, with a lot of advice on places to set it (Dark Sun, Kara Tur, etc)

And "Midway" being an "Other Settings" crunch book with chapters on Dark Sun (with the Mystic) and Ebberon (with the Artificer) and Kara Tur (with the Asian-themed Subclasses) and presumably Dragonlance (doesn't it have fallen Paladins?) and whatever else.

Lots of fluff with the crunch.

Regarding "Dust", not sure if this has been mentioned already, but the PAX East Acquisitions Inc. show ended with

[sblock] the characters being told by the giant oracle to look for an hidden city in a distant land, and to ask the children of Ubtao for guidance in finding an artifact called the Soulmonger, so it's possible Dust will be set in Chult, tying in with the Artus Cimber plotline from SKT.[/sblock]

Excellent sleuthing, Quickleaf & darjr.

I'm just a little disappointed, because I think this UA stuff needs a LOT more playtesting. I'd rather see a 2018 release date and vigorous playtesting over the next year.
