[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7994688, member: 6993955"] That might be true [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER], but there's also a break point in sales where a guy who was buying everything buys less. More importantly, when there's a book coming every month people take a pass on things they might have bought anyway because there's another book right around the corner. I think WotC has identified the sweet spot. Just because every single books sells well doesn't mean that you could up the release schedule and be confident of the same results. I would agree with you that the design of 5E and its appeal to a broad player base is certainly a key factor, and I agree with your reading of the appeal both veteran and newer gamers. I don't think I agree that you can take that info to mean sales could be better. The official releases have some gravitas, and applying a little bit of artificial scarcity doesn't hurt.
