You think I sound like a grump about the RPG business? Listen to some folks who are actually in the industry. This is on the weblog of D&D stalwart Mike Mearls, whose leadoff post is a bit annoyingly vague. But check out Ryan Dancey's followup; for all his faults the guy often sees the industry clearer than almost anyone. And don't skimp on clicking through to the replies and sub-comments; lots of fantastic stuff in there, like this.
