[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3478356, member: 7859"] Dragonlance has been under the bailiwick of Sovereign Press for how many years now? Have the sales figures for any of the successive books even matched the figures of first setting book? I avoid game stores, I have moved my RPG purchases to the online venue where prices are cheaper, the stores are open during hours tailored to my schedule, and the products I want are available. I also do not have to witness the Retail train wreck that is often the merchandising prowess of many RPG shops. The main DL setting book is not available for sale on Amazon new. The main DL setting book is not available for sale on the Paizo website, though you can pre-order a DL starter pack for $53. To my recollection the Last Grenadier in Los Angeles, a venerable game store, did not have a copy of the DragonLance main setting book in stock the last I was there....around 6 months ago. So can we say the Stewardship of the Setting has been the tops? No disrespect to Sovereign Press, or Weis or Hickman. It seems appropriate that if anybody should be leading the brand it should be them, and Sovereign Press has put out quite a few products, but the company is small, and given the fact that many people have stopped keeping up with DL over the years, can one really say the company has removed any barrier's to entry? Dragon & Dungeon have been great for the last couple of years, but I will wait to see what WOTC does online before I declare the move a failure. In the words of Grand Moff Tarkin, Wotc is taking an awful big risk. [/QUOTE]
