[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 6552692, member: 467"] That's an interesting, completely unsupportable claim. Now you are moving the goal posts, claiming that all those settings aren't actually support for the game, which seems a very strange assertion to make. 13th Age does seem to have a sparse support library but then it is not a game with a big footprint. Do you know anyone who actually plays it? I don't. Numenera on the other hand has over 30 accessories available for it of varying sizes, plus a compatible spin off game. Here's the thing: when we are talking about robust release schedules we are primarily comparing D&D to the likes of Pathfinder. No other games really matter at the scale we are talking about. (Star Wars and Shadowrun are probably the next their down.) there is no reason that D&D 5E could not support a schedule equivalent to PF. Just bringing back Dragon and Dungeon would get them halfway there. Throw in a campaign setting hardback and a few smaller setting expansion and you're there. There is nothing like that level of support on the schedule, and given the size of the D&D team, there won't be. That the new edition of D&D in its launch year has support on par with an indie game like FATE is mind boggling and very revealing on how WotC or Hasbro feel about the property. [/QUOTE]
