[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4709364, member: 51747"] This one is just silly. If its 2010 and PHBIII is going nowhere, at best they'll start active work for 4.5. If asked this last year, I would have said 2009 instead, but the poor economy can be an explaination. But if they have bad sales all around for 2 straight years on a product this large, its time to prepare to restart the product. They're not going to wait for 2011 to make that decision. And they're definitely not going to wait as long as 7 years afterwards to get that product out the door. They'll have it out in 1-2 years from the date they make the decision. Just a business prospective, not saying that 4E/Wizards is bad or anything. Na. They'll do a revision. Something that makes the Wizard a better class. Tweek thing A and adjust thing B. Revisions take much less development time than new editions. Wouldn't be surprised if they drop TTRPG. Lease it off to someone else maybe. Release a new product line. The D&D name has major potential. Releasing a board game version of it (no, I am not saying that 4E is a board game) that builds on the basic starter set idea but is an actual board game and doesn't require a DM I could see them doing.
