[QUOTE="Silveras, post: 2565684, member: 6271"] To return to the point of the thread, though, as has been said, I think Wizards has covered the "core" expansions and is now branching out into more "niche" areas. As a result, it will be harder to make products that appeal to as large a share of the audience. The Fantastic locations will appeal to people who want to blend the minis game with D&D, or who want to use their D&D minis in their D&D games. People who dislike the D&D minis will (probably) not like these products as much, and will be less interested in them. Books like Weapons of Legacy, Magic of Incarnum, and Tome of Magic will appeal more to some people than others. Likewise, the Genre series will be hit-or-miss with various folks. While I am not sure I like the ideas in Magic of Incarnum, I am glad to see Wizards trying new things in a modular, use-it-or-not fashion. I am much more interested in the forthcoming Tome of Magic; I have already put into my homebrew a small version of Truenames, and I am curious to see what has been done with that. Likewise, my homebrew had a type of Shadow Magic in 2nd ed, and I am curious to see what Ari has done with that idea, too. [/QUOTE]
