(I can't remember).  Not too shabby.And it looks like they only want to promote people playing new games, hence the D&D core books and no other swag.  Remember folks, even crappy second-tier CCGs can out sell D&D.   Wotc is going to support it's cash cow, while trying to develop new ones. D&D?  Merely a side project with pretty decent returns.  In most cases the best Wotc can hope for is a new player buying the basic game and the three core books.   The people who buy the supplements are a thin gravy over the meat and potatoes.  Despite the adult arguements than D&D is self-contained in the three core books, I think more kids care about the "kewl" new stuff out of the latest card set. (And most parents in game stores seem to have a need to please their children, so the self-contained arguement falls on deaf ears also).  So who would wizard's rather have, a staunch D&D player who will promote that game and a few board games, and have a trickle of book/mini sales to "show for it," or a CCG fanatic promote new games for the kiddies/adults and move more product (Those $3-$4 impulse pack sales are always a bigger revenue source, than the impulse RPG book sales)?Wizards is most certainly looking towards hard-core CCG players, then board gamers, then role-players, in that order.  Anything else would be disaster.For those of you who are submitting apps, good luck... and good luck reading the GI Joe and Neopets rulebooks... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />  And you don't even get a copy of Diplomacy game with Monopoly pieces. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
