There is some movement there, in that 1e's Unearthed Arcana is getting a reprint, too.

Overall, a nice development, but I wouldn't dare to speculate.

It is my perception, though, that Wizbro is increasingly turning D&D into a nostalgia brand (like Hasbro handles most of their IP).

Not that that would be anyway bad, but it sure hinders the progress of the hobby.

Then again, with the release of 4e, Wizbro lost the position as pacemaker for tabletop gaming anyway. FFG and Paizo took that one over years ago.

9.00. Second coffee break of the day. I add:

For those who only read the boards occasionally, my polemics are not so much grognardism - nor is being a grognard regarded as being
an asset if you want to participate in this discussion. Havard and I discuss about this topic endlessly, the main difference being that
Havard is a fan of D&D in general, while my interest usually doesn't extend further than Blackmoor, and, oddly enough, Ravenloft,
while my actual tabletop gaming has always centered around other systems and games. So, I am inclined to make my argument
from the perspective of an outsider, while Havard talks as an insider.

So, when I am saying something about WotC that is not flattering, that's not an "attack", but from somebody who is more inclined
to check the FASA section of the FLGS before I walk over to the D&D section.

I am putting that out just so the interested reader knows, if he makes a hateful comment, we good Comeback Inn bartenders will respond
with a good spanking.

I am doing my taxes today. AGAIN. Can I tempban somebody, just to relieve the stress?

PROBABLY. :twisted:
