[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 5976180, member: 87792"] I'm kinda depressed if Mearls [I]is[/I] telling the truth there. It means that the 3.0 and 3.5 design teams were much more insular than I'd consider competent. Or, and more likely, Mearls simply wasn't present at those meetings. I'm also depressed that Mearls seems to imply that looking otuside a small niche hobby is a [I]bad[/I] thing. And as for Pathfinder's growing dominance, Wizards have released a total of two and a half books for 4e [I]this year[/I]. One was a disappointing adventure (Undermountain), one was the last of the real splats (Heroes of the Elemental Chaos), and one had more material advertising other D&D. In April (simply the first month I googled for), [URL="http://www.gamesalute.com/?p=26400"]Pathfinder put out[/URL] The Midnight Mirror (Adventure), Blood of Fiends (Player supplement), and an AP module. This, of course, ignores DDI. But in terms of dead tree product, in one month Pathfinder put out as many books as WotC - and although the WotC books were thicker there was probably only twice as much content there. WotC aren't even trying to match Paizo right now. [/QUOTE]
