[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 5429398, member: 5868"] Clearly the answer is collectible feat, spell, power, and item cards. Release a preview online, sell in the mass market, then sell a roll up in book format 1-2 years later. (I keed, I keed ... I hope). <--BREAK--> Now about Paizo and D&D, if I'm allowed a little speculative fiction, here's what I'd see happening if WotC sold or liensed D&D to Paizo: - Paizo would pause and take stock. - They'd develop a new version of D&D to release. - The new D&D might be Pathfinder 2.0, it might be a development of 4E, or it might be something with a different direction. In any event, I think Paizo can do a better job with the IP that is D&D. Why? Because frankly, I think their track record to date with products reveals that they simply respect D&D more as a brand, they love its history, and they aren't so bogged down with corporate politics that they can't both maintain brand identity and put out profitable products (and frankly as a smaller company I think their expectations for profit and growth would be lower, which might be better for D&D the RPG as a niche product line rather than as the step-sibling to M:tG at WotC). I'm not saying the designers at WotC don't love D&D, but I have more trust in the team at Paizo that they can stay true to the soul of D&D while still keeping it relevant and vibrant. [/QUOTE]
