WoTC knew their product would sell before they ever made it. This gives them a remarkable freedom to work on everything at once and invest large amounts of money knowing that they would see a good return. They probably could have released all of these books the same day 4e was released if they thought that would have sold better.It says good things about the hobby of D&D and how it's going that WoTC can do this. I think we'll see D&D continue on for a while under the proud banner of 4th edition and I'm glad of that. It means lots of new players coming into the hobby now and as the years go by. And then those new players can learn 3rd edition to play in my games... I'll never live long enough to experience all 3e has to offer, but I'd like to try. I'm glad that the hobby will remain active thanks to new blood and new products in the meantime. Thankyou WoTC. I may not buy your books anymore, but I sure am glad you're releasing them. (hell, I never experienced all 2nd edition had to offer. OD&D... well, maybe if I'd stuck with it all this time I would have, it was a smaller game.)</blockquote>
