Message: <blockquote data-quote="Klaus" data-source="post: 5427557" data-attributes="member: 607">I don't have any more information than anyone else, so the following reflects only my opinions/hopes/impressions:- The "removed" books had a weaker "hook" than usual: reformatting existing classes, expanding multiclass rules, etc, are not a strong enough draw to make expensive hardbacks out of. The sort of material produced for it seem to be more in line with the digital offering. Note that the material isn't being scrapped, as far as we can tell, just rearranged for a different presentation.- As an expansion of the above, Heroes of Shadow is still on, since it has a tighter "focus".- The cancellation of the minis line: seems to be a reflection of two things: lower sales for Lords of Madness and a strong reception to the tokens in the Red Box, DMKit and MV.- The mentioning of boardgames: Could be due to a strong performance of the Castle Ravenloft game? This could be the new format of the old Fantastic Locations line: you get a battleboard, minis and 4e-derived standalone rules, so the boardgame can be used with or without the core rules.- We could prossibly still see new products announced for the second half of 2011, using material from the previously announced books and expanded to cover specific needs of the line.</blockquote>
