As for "Dungeons and Dragons", I think this edition is going to be the end of the brand as a tabletop RPG. At this point, yet another new version just further dilutes it. If sells aren't stellar because it doesn't pull in us grognards and the Pathfinderites, Hasbro will shelve it.

The staggered release makes this easy to buy with random game cash each month or so.<br /><br />It is kind of weird to see an RPG company releasing a D&D product without Kickstarter. WTF is the world coming to.<br /><br /><br />Side note - The Deluxe screens in WOTC parlance are the ones printed on game board thickness sheets. Very nice and durable.
