I just don't see why they even bothered with the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide.

[QUOTE="Corpsetaker, post: 6756177, member: 6776548"] I just want to say that I don't believe that BS that Mearls said for an instant. Reasons: 1: If the way 3rd edition was handled was bad then how come it lasted so long and still exists in the guise of Pathfinder which has spawned it's own following? 2: 4th edition was bad for 4th edition and not some over zealous release schedule. So many people simply didn't like the rules so they bought less books. When you have a fantastic rule set then books are purchased on the back of that. That whole thing Mearls said is nothing but new edition strategy justification spin. 5th edition is a fantastic ruleset that many people obviously enjoy so if you picked up the pace on books then those books will be purchased. You also can't go in with the corporate attitude that every book you put forth is supposed to sell more copies than the last. The sad thing is, since a corporation has taken over D&D it stopped being about what's good for the customer and more what's good for the corporation and in so doing this, has made people believe that their current strategy is what's best for the game when it's actually not. So Mike Mearls, here are the things that are bad for D&D: Corporations, profits treadmills, and bad spin. [/QUOTE]
