BTS2 will be a sellout.

What is BTS2?

What is BTS2?

According to Google, it's a type of spa.

Cheers!

What is BTS2?

My guess would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer Two, and the 'V' is missing.

EDIT: Could it be that Buffy is broadening her horizons and slaying other creatures as well?

Buffy the Slayer. She's branching out.

Cheers!

You just beat me to that one.

What will be WotC's 'big' release next year, I wonder?

This year we saw the Eberron setting.

The year before that we saw 3.5, and the minis game.

 

[MerricB]

Yes, well - my mind is doing strange things.

Weapons of Legacy and Battlefield Adventures are "big" in some ways - two new series for Wizards.

Perhaps, but I think most of the supplementary sourcebooks tend to be pretty low earners for WotC (my guess), and in particular offer fewer avenues for product expansion (mini support, novel support, adventure support, etc). I'm not sure those product lines will be any bigger than the 'Races of...' or the Environmental series currently running.

Eberron, OTOH, aside from being a big seller on its own (the main setting book), is not only becoming its own product line but is also seeing miniatures, and I assume we'll see Eberron novels.

All speculation, of course.

I assume we'll see Eberron novels.

The first Eberron novel, by Keith Baker, is scheduled for January, IIRC.

Cheers!
