[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 5427003, member: 2067"] I'm okay with going with individual articles rather than compiled zines, but it does seem to be an odd choice since it can't take very long to make those compiled zines. I can't imagine they're gaining much from this, but eh...maybe... (and that does cast that previous poll in a new light!). As long as I can keep going back and referencing the old articles, I'm okay with it. It's not a big change. I'm okay with ditching the plastic minis. I never did think they were a very strong idea. Though I do feel for those folks who loved 'em. I'm weirdly OK with the schedule gap. Sure, it sucks that some books were dropped, but whatever, I can keep playing D&D (or not) or whatever. Maybe they'll use this gap to get the CB and the Compendium fixed. ;) Maybe I'll give the VT a spin and see what I can see. However, I see something a little weirder lurking at the edges here. I see them using the sales data from the next few months to judge if they need to be printing many books at all. "Board games and Fortune Cards and the DDI and boxed sets sell like hotcakes! Do we really want to keep selling books to places where shoplifters can steal them and pirates can pirate them!?!?!?!?!" ;) That's rampant speculation, so take it with a heap of salt. I do find it sad, really, that they can't tell us [I]wtf happened[/I]. I don't even. [/QUOTE]
