If this is the case, wonder if WotC's D&D division can just get a "loan" from the "Magic: The Gathering" side of the business, or even the Hasbro mothership. A more general question is how exactly are the finances are handled at WotC. For example, are the D&D finances handled completely...

The gang that couldn't shoot straight. :p

Good point. A sign that the new April 19, 2011 release date for "Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow" may not be definitive?

The recent "January and Beyond" preview article does not mention either "Class Compendium: Heroes of Sword and Spell" or "Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium" at all. Also just noticed the "Wrath of Ashardalon" listing on amazon.com, lists it as "currently unavailable". (It originally had a...

The amazon.com listings for - "Class Compendium: Heroes of Sword and Spell" - "Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium" have just been recently removed.

(Just noticed this). The following book listings have been removed from amazon.com. - "Class Compendium: Heroes of Sword and Spell" - "Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium" The "Player's Option: Heroes of Shadow" book has been pushed back a month to an April 19, 2011 release date. So no...

Same here. I jumped off the WotC 4E "treadmill" shortly after 4E Essentials was released. I won't be jumping back on again. I picked up the 4E Essentials Rules Compendium and Heroes of Fallen Lands books, and stopped there. (I was occasionally DMing this season of 4E Encounters, which was...

A Harry Potter rpg?

A "Topology for Dummies" book? ;) Using a Klein bottle for the lemonade jug? :p

Planned obsolescence in action?

(This only works if one has a lot of patience, and where one doesn't watch anything like reality tv shows on network prime time television, or any sports). For national or international news, I just go to the web pages of news networks like cnn, msnbc, bbc, fox, deutsche welle, etc ... For...

More than a decade ago, I've met quite a number of individuals who read stuff like Dragonlance and the Drizzit novels, but who had zero interest in playing D&D or any rpg games. In recent years, I haven't come across many such individuals.

Wonder how much D&D fiction is actually read by people who do not play any D&D games at all.

Media influences: - Arnold Schwarzenegger movies - Dukes of Hazzard - Beavis and Butthead - Cheech and Chong movies - Iron Maiden record covers - James Bond movies :p

In light of recent events, one wonders what is going to happen to the content of the possibly canceled (or omitted) 4E 2011 titles. In particular, the following titles advertised at Gencon 2010 but which are conspicuously absent from amazon.com or WotC's own online catalog: (removed or omitted...

It took them around 3 years to produce 4E from inception to the release date of the 4E PHB1. (This is documented in the book "Wizards Presents: Races and Classes" on pages 8 and 9). In the case of 4E Essentials, it took them around a year from inception to the release date. (This is...

Let's pull out the "magic 8 ball". :p

How would systems like Palladium RIFTS fit into this premise? It seems to thrive on inertia even in a shrinking market.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the vast majority of rpg splatbooks are purchased by the "compulsive completionist" type individuals. Of such "compulsive completionist" type individuals I've known over the years, most of their purchases are read once or twice and then put on the bookshelf to...

For something possibly analogous to carbon-based life, it could be based on the equivalent of "organic" molecules and water. Lifeforms could be drastically different if they were made out of something that wasn't based in principle on "organic" style molecules. If one wants to go even further...
