Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 5761738" data-attributes="member: 426">I found the last article interesting mostly for what it said about WotC's positions -- admitting that 4E made some mistakes and that the market is deeply divided.  I honestly doubt that Mearls could say anything else, as it would not seem credible.  Still, I doubt that the market can be reunified.  People have gone their separate ways.  A new edition may generate some sales, but I don't think that it is easy to rebuild lost trust or brand loyalty.  I want to see good products come out of WotC as it is good for our hobby.  However, we will manage.This week I picked up a few things at a local game store and the owner told me that a young man who stopped in a few weeks back for a Pathfinder Society game (I helped him play one of the pregenerated iconics) came back and brought the Pathfinder Core Rulebook.  I think that perhaps products around the price of the Beginners Box to the Basic Set to a PHB or PF Core Rulebook will work as an introduction.  So, I expect to see one more local gamer -- and I hope that he will meet as many good people and make as many friends as I have through this hobby.  At the end of the day,  I hold firm to the conviction that all of us have more in common than we might think.  Perhaps what unites us as gamers is ultimately more powerful and important than what divides us.  My hope is that the teen who came in may one day be teaching his kids how to play RPGs.</blockquote>
