SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Indeed. Also, there's apparently going to be a Nentir Vale board game. A light blub went off when I learned that one.

As well as a Drizzt boardgame.

The ferret question can only be answered by the agonized screams of 1000 mimes  as they are bottle raped by the light of the full moon.

Yes, but that's a short term goal. All it does it bring in profits from those final few users that were waiting on said product. It does little to build overall product street identity and doesn't bolster the users. Unless D&D is going pyramid scheme. Door to door D&D sales guys, like Amway.

1. The vast majority of the products canceled were not going to bring new customers in. They were splat books. Splat books are sold to existing customers- pretty much exclusively.  You don't buy Nentir Vale, for example, unless you are already a customer.

2. Why would anyone who had internet access go door to door?  

3. I think that encounters, the starter set and the board games are the way they want to bring new people in. You play a little encounters/or your uncle gets you Ravenloft for Xmass. You become curious, and so you buy the core books or the starter set- whatever- all those products have adds in them pointing to the DDI.  You want more content you subscribe and then they have you, for a few months at least.

Eh. I don't think so.
