[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 89248, member: 354"] I dunno that there is any danger of a "flood" of brand novels... At a guess, the local bookstore (Who has a wall something like 6'5" tall, all the way down to the floor, and about 10 feet long full of fantasy and sci-fi novels... I'm guessing the height from the fact that I just barely have to look up to read the top row of titles, and I'm 6'3") has MAYBE 20 "brand" fantasy novels at any one time. That's... oh... about two feet on one row. And that's Greyhawk, Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, and the odd M:tG book combined. Not counting hard covers, of course, which are in another section regardless of genre. The few times I've been in the not-so-local Borders it was about 20 feet of shelves, maybe 5 feet high, and maybe twice the number of brand fantasy novels. Not any real danger I don't think. Heck, the Robert Jordan section tends to be larger than all the DnD books. If I were going to "crusade" against any brand books, it would be Star Wars and Star Trek. Don't get me wrong, I like both, but dangit... that's about all the sci-fi novels you can find anymore. Oh, a few come out now and then, but you never hear much about them, and they fade quickly...
