Message: <blockquote data-quote="eyebeams" data-source="post: 3356301" data-attributes="member: 9225">Actually, I haven't made any definitive statements about how D&D is doing at all. And there's no innuendo; Hasbro's last annual report  for FY 2005 gives D&D little to no mention, and the 4thQ release doesn't mention D&D. As I said earlier, this may  have to do with the presentation style and not relative earnings of the brand.This is too vague to parse. "The path D&D is treading?" Marketing will naturally change according to quarterly and annual results. I believe Mike Mearls mentioned even more frequent updates at R&D meetings. D&D will *never* have the same kind of marketing and releases from year to year.I can't address your remark because I don't understand its substance. Are you saying D&D will have the same kind of ads? Release the same kind of products? Use the same rules? What are you saying, exactly?A strawman is a point that bears no relevance to the argument at hand. Since the argument at hand is about the "best year ever" claim, saying that discussing it is a strawman is by definition erroneous.If Umbran would care to tell me why he brought up opinions about the honesty of folks at WotC when I didn't I can respond to your other issue.No, I'm just have no interest in the impossible task of definitively proving a negative. I also can't prove that invisible Martians don't control world governments or that Monte Cook isn't a robot, but that doesn't bother me much either. I'm sure you'll take this as a cop out; that's fine with me.(I'm happy to discuss these things with people who do *not* demand proof of a negative, though.)In fact, in a rational discussion the burden is on you to assert a positive claim -- and you have. You have asserted I have a secret grudge against D&D that I'm using "innuendo" to fulfill even though I sell compatible products, play my Monk/Rogue once a week, and Mike Mearls and I are friended to each other over on livejournal.</blockquote>
