[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 7668494, member: 6790260"] Perhaps the civility is a matter of perspective. Having your own preferences slammed on the first page, and calls for anyone upset with a particular fact about 5e (low rate of new publications) to be sent to their own forum so they don't bother everyone else, don't really strike me as "civil." Or people saying that admitting you made an incorrect or unwise call in the past means that you should tell everyone to ignore what you say because if you're wrong once you're [I]obviously[/I] tainted forever and can't see the right of things. Still, it's nice to know D&D is pleasing its corporate overlords. I generally agree with the idea that this is, almost certainly, people merely looking at the sales differences between "essentially nothing produced for ages" and "suddenly almost all the books that they have any current plans of publishing for 5e." That kind of viewing, especially if viewed solely as a year-over-year or quarterly increase, rather than as absolute dollar values each quarter, can easily give the casual reader an impression that doesn't really hold. Or, to put it another way, edition launches [I]should always[/I] be "on a tear," and when production (effectively) ceases for ~2 years prior to that launch, it [I]should[/I] be a dramatic change compared to the prior several quarters! But, again, this is a good sign for D&D's future as a published game. I dislike several elements of 5e [B]vehemently[/B], but if it's selling, it's keeping the game alive. [/QUOTE]
