[QUOTE="Trickster Spirit, post: 6553608, member: 6701829"] Well, we're talking about the future here - nothing is a foregone conclusion! WotC could absolutely botch it, and Paizo could weather criticism beautifully and respond to it beautifully such that Pathfinder becomes the undisputed pen and paper RPG king and D&D is but a distant afterthought. But personally, I see WotC's current release schedule working in their favor, and Pathfinder's working against them, at least for the time being. I believe it was Mistwell who in another thread pointed out that it may be smarter to sell 75,000 copies of one book every six months than 10,000 copies per monthly book. We don't have the numbers to know whether that actually is the case, but Wizards does, and I don't see them putting out less product just for the heck of it. D&D might yet tank, but I'm not convinced the current strategy is a poor one, and I'm glad to see the status quo being turned on its head. [/QUOTE]
