I do know though, that WotC is not going to focus on rules supplements with 5E, they said as much.So how does the current RPG market leader earn money? Paizo sells mainly adventures, right? In the past WotC made money mainly by selling rules (3E, 4E) and less adventures. This didn't work out in the last 5 to 8 years. It might be that the RPG departement is now small enough to be able to afford to make money with adventures (sounds like a paradox, I know): Because of lower production costs of adventures and bigger revenues by selling a high quantity of adventures.Everything what was said and hinted about the future focus of 5E points to a shift of WotC's selling strategy: More story, less rules - which implies the selling of more adventure content than rules content.You might not have a need for the format personally, but I want to point out that they might have observed that Paizo is selling adventures and making money out of it and are trying to repeat their success with their own spin (D&D Encounters).-YRUSirius</blockquote>
