I would love to see reprints of old adventures. That would let new players enjoy old content that is harder to find these days.

And, when asked about the reprints, a WotC spokesman denied it. (It's always nice being lied to.) If B&N did leak the info too soon it is a little amusing. WotC has all their new product announcements scooped by book vendor websites.
And they were denying the existence of DDN here on the forums three days before the official announcement. WotC employees are contractually obligated not to admit to stuff like that.

I realize it has only been a week since the official announcement, but these books have not yet been added to the Wizards on-line product catalog page.
Secondly, does the term "local book store" equate to Barnes and Noble or amazon.com? I didn't see these books listed on either web site, althogh I could have missed it.
As of this morning they are listed.

Thanks for the heads up on this Warunsun. I found them listed at amazon.com. No cover picture yet.
I still don't see them listed by Wizards on their own product catalog page though.

For those asking the price ... I believe they're saying $49.95 for them.
... and for those saying that it may be because of the "delusion" that Pathfinder is ourselling D&D ... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, it's not a delusion. Industry stats support it. It's a fact that Pathfinder outsells D&D 4th Edition.

There is actually no real information either way on that Internet dispute. Any "Industry Statistics" are based purely on phone calls and speculation. No one except WotC and Paizo together could prove it either way.

Unless one happens to work for a company that owns multiple gaming stores in a large state like Texas, and can report regional sales for individual product lines. Especially if one happens to be the largest gaming store in a city of about 5.4 million people.
... granted, that may not be unbiased enough for some tastes. Others might say hat it only represents regional purchasing, not nationwide. Personally, while it may not be 100% perfect, as if WotC and Paizo released sales numbers, I think that it's a good enough example to form an opinion on. ... and it certainly *far* from being a delusion. Opinion, perhaps. Delusion, no.

It still will not win Internet thread discussions. It is only opinion-based like most things on the Internet. Everyone has opinions to throw around. I am not saying you or any of the folks that engage in the Pathfinder VS D&D are wrong with your conclusions. Just that the other side of the argument is not going to relent because you or them can't prove anything regarding sales numbers.

Really, dude? It's about "winning" an internet thread? Seriously? Wow ... okay. I was just offering a statment that is merely within my experience. I already siad above that it's essentially nothing more than my own opinion based on meandering experience. The only objection that I made was to the fella upthread that said it's "delusional". It's a arguable point, either way ... but it is far from a delusion. Other than that ... you're not even really participating in the discussion about it - you're simply arguing the point that it's impossible to know. But, even if the companies involved published financial sales record, you then could say, "Well, they could have changed those numbers." Without a hand-count of every individual book as it was sold or shipped, it's still theorectically impossible to know, right? What is this? An election in Florida? So, you're feeding the argument for no apparent reason; you're fanning the fire on both sides - like an arms dealer keeping his business going. " ... just that the other side of the [war] is not going to relent because [they'll buy bigger guns]." You're like the guy in the Ballpark franks commercial: "If you're not sure, you're not sure." Thanks for all that stimulating debate, and all ... but, you know ... could we just be polite to the other readers of the thread and just keep it to the Original Post topic? There's a new one for the internet! A debate that doesn't continue? Take it easy, and Good Gaming to all!

Actually this thread was about v3.5 reprints. You brought all this talk of Pathfinder vs D&D sales.
