Hasbro, how I hate thee

It seems the average lifespan of an edition of D&D is something like five years. WotC just announced they are doing 4th Edition next year.

Oh, and they are killing Living Greyhawk next year too since converting would be a pain.

I joked that you always know when an edition of D&D is about to die when they print an 'elf' book. It means they've run out of ideas for new books. Races of the Wild came out in Feb 2005.

Feh. I've been unhappy with the direction WotC and the RPGA have been taking for years, so I guess that means I'll be getting more of my free time back. That or I'll have to hang out with the 'old time gamer' purists to continue to play the old edition.
