If you are a working adult or in university, you will find that time is something you just don't have a lot of. Now because of this limit on time, we have to choose what we what to do with in the little bit that we have. Sometimes we are forced to choose between several things we like to do but don't have the time to do. Some people try to spread it out among weeks or even months but I tell you from personal experience that gaming once a month or even once every two months is not very fun because you actually forget a lot of what went on during the last game. Well WoTc have decided to continue the tradition from a few short years ago and focus on D&D boardgames. I for one feel this actually creates competition with in your own line which in my opinion isn't a good thing. I see fantasy boardgames as one of the many things out there that is a bane on D&D. I'm not talking about "a" boardgame here or there. I'm talking about a series of boardgames like the ones that were put out not so long ago. They tend to give you a bit of that D&D feel without all the prep time. I have a feeling they are going to go even further than they did before with the boardgames and I feel like it's really going to hurt 5th edition D&D, especially since they don't seem to be releasing much product for the table top game. The same can be said about the MMO as well and all the focus that's going into it.You can call me pessimist, or a doomsayer or whatever. All I am is a gamer who can't believe that WoTc decides to cut back on an edition that is a top class system that has brought back many people who were discouraged by 4th edition. Now is not the time to pull back. Maybe if the system wasn't that great, but not when you have a system that could realistically keep the game going for many years and generate a healthy product base. That would be like taking out your best player for that game winning penalty kick and replacing him with the new guy because you want him to gain that experience. It's one of those: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" moments. Hopefully at the end of the day I am wrong. Hopefully WoTc decides to focus a bit more on it's table top game and a little less on everything else, but at this point I'm not very hopeful.Cheers.</blockquote>
