[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5433993, member: 28487"] My tuppence worth, I think that DDI did eat in to the crunch heavy books like the PHB X line and the powerbooks. I have pretty limited money these days for gaming so DDI plus books that inspire me as a DM is more my speed. So Monster manuals, campaign guides and location books (Plane above/below etc) I also expect that from the comments relating to essentials the numbered player books caused brand confusion at the player entry level. Hense, Essentials. There is also the possibity that the whole PHB 1,2 and 3 thing was an emergency response to the failure of Gleemax. Gleemax was such a steaming pile that we really do not know what it was really supposed to be going forward. It was a disaster going out the door. We can surmise with the aim of the digital efforts since and the fact that they are persevering inspite of all the setbacks that the untimate strategic goal is pretty compelling to the senior management of WoTC and perhaps to Hasbro. I agree that we are looking at a change of direction but we don't have the roadmap and are guessing the route by watching the vehicle ramble about the countryside. [/QUOTE]
