[QUOTE="JoelF, post: 3729788, member: 8829"] I don't have any special requests for 4E, but I would request FEWER products per year. My single biggest complaint about 3E and 3.5 especially is that they came out with just too many products in a year. That's my theory on why sales were down on non-core books - most games simply didn't have the budget for all the goodness coming out. I'm sure that there's others who disagree, but I know I had to pick and choose which of the products I wanted the most, and hoped I could find others used or just simply not get some stuff I wanted. I'm not suggesting to keep the product line up down to 3 a year, but 18 hardcovers a year is just too much - I think 10 or so would be a good amount. This could also serve to keep the lifecycle of 4E longer - there's a certain amount of product you can come out with before you finish the obvious updates from previous editions, and then start to have to come out with compilations, etc. If you had fewer products per year, then you have more years before 5E is on the horizon.
