[QUOTE="Manchu, post: 6557086, member: 6791825"] LOL how does "they are putting out books" (i.e., 2-4 per year as suggested above) ... by the way books that are not likely to be designed in-house ... answer much less contradict the statement that D&D is an afterthought for WotC? Putting core books on the shelf creates market presence. Printing a minimal amount of follow up just ensures book stores keep at least a copy of the PHB in stock next to the Pathfinder stuff. Meanwhile, WotC prints increasing amounts of MtG (despite all this "more is worse" talk LOL), which is the real focus. I'm not blaming them.
