[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6615761, member: 55961"] Yeah, from what we were told it wasn't how it happened. It wasn't a question of disconnect, but a question of cannibalization of fan base/customers. Sure they do. The core books. At least with minimal research or asking the guy behind the counter. Like with any edition. First world problems. By grow organically do you mean other RPG products than the APs? Cause Nathan Stewart pretty much said "nuh-huh" to other types of books. Heck APs might go from two to one a year. Yeah, just making APs isn't growth. It is considering to RPG to be secondary or ancillary to the storyline. Not gonna happen for this cycle. The FR are the default setting for a while. Nathan Stewart pretty much said so in his interview. Perkins said he was writting storylines for the next seven years, so maybe seven years is a cycle and maybe this is how long the FR will be "default". Splat doesn't affect story. Fluff and crunch are two separate things. Like you can be a power gamer and still roleplay. At home games just don't use them if you do not like them. For organized lay, just the splat of the current storyline can be used. That 25 page PDF WotC released? Yeah, not gonna be usable with Rage of Drizzt. So all is fine.
