Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nellisir" data-source="post: 7667047" data-attributes="member: 70">I don't think we would have necessarily gotten a lot more, but whoever they've lost to jury duty seems to have been a real lynchpin to a number of projects. That sort of bottleneck is one of my concerns (note: I'm not saying it's mismanaged or anything else; I don't have enough information. The information I do have is enough to raise a concern, though.) Also, I don't think WotC's staffing level is particularly small for the industry. If anything, they're probably a little on the large side. It's WEIRD that they're smaller than Paizo, but that's like comparing two elephants standing in a flock of sheep. And, I'd be curious to know how WotC's current staffing compares to Paizo's at the launch of Pathfinder. I've been under the impression that Paizo has been adding staff for a number of years, so comparing Paizo then (staff & release schedule) to WotC now (staff & release schedule) might be a more valid comparison to assess capability.These are observations and my own hunches, though. I'm not privy to WotC's budget or staffing details. I honestly don't know if you have or not. Plenty of people have, unfortunately. I'm OK with monsters and spells and class options (well, sorta. A few more would be nice). I was really surprised at how few magic items were in the DMG. Many of the DMG chapters seem scant to me, actually. And yes, I could and go through and convert what I need, and doubtlessly will, but I prefer to avoid duplication of effort when possible. I've been under the impression that revenue from Magic and D&D are somewhat segregated. Or why invest in D&D at all if the return on investment from Magic is that much higher?</blockquote>
