As well I don't hang out here as much as I used to. I've been reading the speculation threads about 5th edition and when do we think it'll come...and I do think that it WILL come...however this isn't what this thread is about. Recently we've seen the cancellation of books and a slower release schedule with D&D 4th. At first I thought that it was because maybe 4e wasn't doing all that well, and maybe it isn't, but that isn't what this thread is about. What this thread is about is the board games that WotC have been releasing lately....they seem to be coming with more and more frequency...1st Ravenloft, then the Wrath of some dragon, now this wargame, and there is some Drizzt boardgame coming as well as the Dungeons of dread. This got me thinking that Fantasy Flight Games, until acquiring some games workshop properties had slowed down considerably on RPGs and made board/card games . Obviously this was profitable for them, and it makes me wonder if WotC is finding out the same thing. I noticed that the production quality of the board games is getting better. Quite possibly they pulled staff off the RPG to work on Board games. So is WotC turning into Fantasy Flight games?</blockquote>
