[QUOTE="prosfilaes, post: 5364295, member: 40166"] I think it's a nice theory, but I don't believe it. As long as the WoD is a company, and not a bunch of hobbyists, the WoD book department is going to have to support itself. It may not involve churning out an endless stream of supplements-The Complete Mokole, etc.--but the supplements they do produce are going to have to sell. And the fact they're no longer putting out all the supplements and they no longer have the huge audience is going to work against them on the "cool stuff they want to work on" field, not for them. White Wolf could stick Vampire: Dark Ages into their schedule, and a certain percentage of their audience would buy it, and the rest wouldn't care. Now, if they make Vampire: Dark Ages and the same percentage of the audience bought it, it's a horrible failure and those GMs who waited four months for something they could use in their games are going to be frustrated that you went "cool" instead of useful and consider switching to a better supported game.
