YOU may get tired of it, but thats the fact.There is also nothing there to support the 4e sells well, nor does it support the its not selling well. Goodman's opinion is just that, opinion. He did NOT give support to his opinion. He gave conculusions based on data that is not present, but says...

The problem comes in, that, while interesting as Mr Goodman's post was, there really is no hard information there, from an objective standpoint. He states his credentials(which I dont doubt), says a bunch of stuff(from which he says he pulled from a variety of sources) on a point by point basis...

Actually having played 15 years ago the models were much more reasonably priced. Trust me on that.

To be fair, there are a couple other exceptional ones beyond that one. Red hand of Doom for example, is pretty widely known as quite good. Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil was pretty good. Overall yes Wotc ones werent very good.

I have to be honest: FLGS havent been useful or relevant for me in....5 years? 10 years? While it may just be my area, they arent any help or use. Whether its for my GW wargaming or looking for a RPG group or needs, they have ben utterly unhelpful in that regard. I dont spend one dime in one and...

I have to slightly disagree. I know online dsicounters can and do hurt GLGS in regard to Games WOrkshop items. Gods know I never play full price of anything from tehm and know I'm not alone. I'll assume there are similar places for M:tG.....Anyone who plays the game know?

yeah this. Amazon, ebay and discount places hurt the FLGS more than Paizo subscription model....

It helped frangment the community more than any other time. With hard feelings and hard lines.....which have finallly cooled more than a bit. I wouldnt exactly call it a blip. Support wasnt right out of the gate, so I would say so, fiasco. Well one could also argue enworld has the more...

I dont doubt his credentials at all. He sounds like a very smart businessman. But his opinion is just that, opinion. Like someone said earlier, he states his creds, and his conclusions.......but where is the actual evidence? Data? that he talks about. Its just not there. Mind you I think 4e...

Most online shops also take paypal accounts, and you dont necessarily need a credit card..... FLGS can kiss my rear end. At lest locally.

I dont know what their vision is. But what I do know is what has happened- GSL fiasco, and whats not happening in major 3PP support. Ultimately their actions speak-whether its the authority doesnt want them along, or that their unsure how they want them along, in the end its still the same results.

Interesting. Dont agree with a bunch, namely game stores, and his 47 stores isnt exactly a large sample, but interesting none the less.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the internet, where you can persue through reviews and ask advice on many products, then shop in your fuzzy slippers as well at variety of online venues. I mean, have you looked through WotC's 3.5 libarary of books? There's a load of stinkers there as well as...

The problem is sir, that one only has to look at their actions and the results. Maybe it wasnt intential, maybe it was. But they cut the staff working on the GSL, delayed it for a while with the revisions and arent exactly jumping up and down to fix the situations. Scott is a great person...

One could argue it didnt work quite as they intended. If the intention was to keep folks buying "in house" ie---Wotc 4e, it also drove people further into the hands of their favorite 3PP..... But did keep a good chunk of the betetr 3pp out of the 4e waters.

Oh definately. I do not want to go back to edition war. Thats not the point. 3rd brought me back too, after teh burn out of 2nd. The 3rd party proucts kept me around. We've been playing Ptolus for actually 2 years now and no end in sight... But keep in mind, while no there are no numbers to...

I'm starting to see a pattern....granted take it with salt, but it seems like 4e fans are more likely to want the official items, where as those that stayed behind are much more likely to buy and use the 3rd party products....

I've seen a couple oftheir titles at Barnes and Noble. Creatures revisited and the world book.

No not even close to 50/50....but one could say its significant enough to take note of. Its not something I would dismiss and ignore. Its certainly not like the shift from 2nd to 3rd, where as most jumped folward.

Agreed. There were many 3PP that kept me in the D&D fold rather than going elsewher in the gaming world. I know I cant be alone there.
