But it seemed to be the furthest thing from their minds. Yeah, there were setting books last time, but very few of them. And they rocked the novel landscape at the same time, losing a lot of fans there. Rules, Rules, Rules, were the focus of 4e, and I hope 5e doesn't' make the same mistake...

This assumes that all things are inevitable. I don't think that's the case. Pathfiner's success isn't entirely because there was a gap in the market. I wont say that it didn't help, of course. Lots of things contributed to the rise of Pathfinder. They have a huge group of industry...

I certainly have no love for WotCs habit of letting go of their veterans during the "Christmas Layoffs." This just seems like a bit of well deserved karmic backlash.

Ok, going to step in here. Paizo created Pathfinder as a move of last resort. They were going to move their Pathfinder Adventure Path books from 3.5 to 4e... except WotC kept pushing back the license, and pushing it back, and they were forced to make a decision on what to do. Pathfinder the...

Well, you have to be a little fair here, they were putting a lot money on the 'd20 System' branding, which forbid character creation rules, and required the PHB. The OGL never needed it. And it wasn't until they revoked the d20 license (IT could be revoked, the OGL could not) that the big...

I just don't see how that is a bad thing for gamers from their point of view. Forcing people into a new edition they don't want to play? This way people get to play what they want to play, instead of what WotC or whatever company gets the D&D license wants.

Well, the good news is that the recording is up for anyone interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH5iJPuhYBs&feature=share

True, but not all booths are created equal... I'd rather have a WotC booth than 3~4 booths selling used RPG stuff.

I don't think WotC needs to advertise that 5e exists and is coming out. People WILL seek them out, I'm sure. But I really wish they had at least a presence in the vendor hall. Last year I barely noticed they existed. Their room was off on its own, and only GF9 had books about D&D.

Last year WotC did not have a presence in the Exhibit Hall, and it appears they may do so again this year when you look at the Exhibit Hall Map again. For those of you who participated last year, how was it? Edit: Here is a link to the map: http://www.gencon.com/attend/exhibithallmap
