[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 3731477, member: 51325"] To me, here's what I would like to see. This would make a good schedule for WOTC as well. A Limited time-frame for products. Al-qadim used this and while it should make no difference to a DM/player if a campaign setting is "open" or "closed", psychologically, I'm betting that more players would be willing to try a campaign setting if they know they don't have to keep up infinitely. If we're getting a new PH/DMG/MM, then a campaign setting book a la the 3E FRCS, should be released in the quarter that no "core" book is released. The MM for that year would be heavily influenced by the campaign setting that was released in that year as would be the DMG to a lesser extent. Minimum support. 1. Campaign setting book 2. Sourcebook detailing either the major kingdom or the major city that is the hub of the setting. Think Waterdeep or the Free City of Greyhawk. This would be released in the quarter with the DMG as the DMG is the core book that sells the least and sourcebooks that talk about where the PCs actually live and kick back tend to be bought by players so this would mitigate the lower sales of the DMG 3. Adventure/Sourcebook that talks about the major bad guys in the setting. Basically a campaign hook that expands on the material released in the campaign setting book. [/QUOTE]
