[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9559813, member: 7635"] A lot of the problem is the Amazon Problem: online reviews are rarely indicative of actual opinions on the subject. There are just too many agendas. Earnest fans for which the subject can do no wrong. Paid shills. Disgruntled "fans" who think the subject is dying because it no longer conforms to their vision. Tourists looking to grift dissatisfaction for a quick buck, etc. Everyone has got an agenda. The only people who know how healthy D&D is is WotC and that's based on sales numbers. Everyone else is tea leaf reading. And if WotC notices a significant dip, I suspect we'll see a shakeup in future plans. But we're not anywhere near that point yet. Hell, we don't even have all three Core books out yet. There are still a lot of people who have not tried the new rules out yet. I think we're still at least two years minimum away from writing obits about D&D. [/QUOTE]
