[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4776275, member: 48965"] And this sir is the biggest problem I see with trying to structure a product that runs for almost 10 years on what's "hot" while you're developing it or even when it's released... fads come and go pretty quickly over the span of 10+ years... and you don't know whether something will become a classic or just another stepping stone towards the next greatest and latest. I think a better approach is to create a D&D brand that means something and defines itself, not necessarily mimicking anything specific but being familiar enough in it's presentation of D&D "fantasy" as a whole not to put people off (I think White Wolf does a good job of this with their WoD setting...they cover the traditional baseline in their genre of horror with the base supernatural types books... but also provide for the more specific tastes their players may have through toolbox splats). IMO, right now D&D is somewhere in limbo... trying to stay both generic and define itself, without actually doing either. [/QUOTE]
