[QUOTE="Manchu, post: 6552624, member: 6791825"] Why would TSR's business practices be relevant? Or any other RPG for that matter? D&D has been published by WotC for 15 years now. The current release schedule is anomalous by comparison to what the relevant company has done with the relevant property in the past. ... well, except for how WotC handled D&D between 2010 and 2012, when the property was comparatively neglected as a RPG in favor of a series of board games. Nowadays, WotC isn't even responsible for said board games. 5E did not come along to much fanfare. WotC did very little to usher in the newest edition at GenCon last year. They didn't even have a presence in the vendor hall. But of course, what could they sell at that point? IN point of fact, they had a little booth set up outside of their OP area with some GF9 miniatures and the PHB. Pathetic stuff. Beyond the rate at which stuff is coming out, there's hardly any communication. Since the topic is comparing D&D to board games, contrast WotC's poor performance with FFG's promotional articles. It just seems like WotC does not care about 5E past just getting a D&D branded book on the shelves next to Pathfinder stuff. [/QUOTE]
