Originally posted by Rimjaw: Yes, WoTC is truly heading downhill. Prices for D&D books and supplementals are rising, the selling off of D&D Campaign settings like Ravenloft, Dragonlance and L5R to other companies. Wizards has also sold off all their D&D periodicals as well (Star Wars Gamer etc). If I'm not wrong when Hasbro bought over WoTC a year ago, they appointed some suit as WotC's new boss, unfortunately he was later discovered to have embezzled a considerable amount of money from Wizards. Add to the fact that alot of staff who had contributed significantly to Wiazrd over the years had retired, resigned or even worse, been told that 'their services were no longer required'. Well in short, Wizards are screwed.

I do think whitewolf can do better at making ravenloft more of a horror/fantasy setting, but WotC made them kill the continuity with exsisting d&d worlds, forcing name/background changes for most of the darklords. I haven't bought anything new WotC has put out (aside from some forgotten realms books) since 3rd edition came out, I do however buy older out of print 2nd edition gaming supplies when I can find them (assuming I don't already have them) I played magic for a long time, but stopped collecting when weatherlights came out, too uber for me, and when all the ruleschanges came out every few weeks, I got disgusted and put my collection in storage. I play Bloodwars(a planescape based CCG, made by TSR before they were bought out) or (Werewolf) Rage now.
