[QUOTE="Guest 85555, post: 5693175"] I hear you, and I think this is a perfectly reasonable conclusion (in fact I agreed with Dancey when he made this statement---it seemed like a practical observation). But I've begun to suspect this doesn't hold up over time, and I think it under-estimates the ability of official module lines to drive sales of core books I think Paizo's approach supports this take. But I could be wrong. I don't have access to sales data or anything like that. Sure but the difference was the core game lines continued (arguably having mutliple editions out at once was a bad move on their part). I could buy D&D enyclopedia or the red boxed set, but 2E was still on the shelves and still actively supported. I have heard many different arguments on 3.5. I tend to side with monte cook on it. And I think it was basically a move to re-release and resell the whole line (which is what they did). I also think it is something of a natural consequences of expanding the game through splat. Where else do you have to go once you cover all the classes and races? [/QUOTE]
