[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 1525495, member: 10447"] I got into the minis to support my D&D game. I am not interested in the skirmish game in the slightest. What Monte brings up is my concern (and why I started this thread). On the one hand, maybe the great sales of the minis are delaying the need for a new edition of D&D (which is perfectly fine with me), but on the other hand, if the minis have become the driving force, and the book designers/authors are affected, does this make for a better or worse product? Will there no longer be a need for as many books? This doesn't seem to be a problem in the short term as it seems WotC is realeasing more D&D books this year than any year since they've had the brand (I don't have the actual figures for each year, so if anyone does, please post). Also, now WotC is branching off into environment books and race books. I think they produce great products, so I'm looking forward to them, but I hope that with the increase of products that sales of each line don't disappoint the accountants... Eye Tyrant: Go to Florida Bookstore Part II on 34th street! 10% off RPGs! [/QUOTE]
