a bunt with a man on first will, in theory, put him into scoring position for the big bats in the line up. sooooo maybe they are releasing these non-highprofile items to keep things rolling while they prepare for a "big hitter". (v7's?)
p.s. i love baseball. people that say that its slow have adhd. have u watched football??? they take 30+ seconds between each play! talk about slow.
I don't really watch much of either sport, and if I'm going to, it will be at a stadium and not on TV. Either way, we're getting off topic.
The point is, while most previous D&D products have been big hits - you could call them out-of-the-park grand slam homers - the most recent batch (after S&M v6) are not so much. Perhaps an analogy to a weak hit straight to second with a man on first would have been better... And with one man out already... In the top of the ninth inning... Several runs behind... Do you see where I'm going with this now?
(For those of you unfamiliar with baseball, that's bad - REALLY bad...)
Perhaps I exaggerate a little, but without a doubt they ain't home runs. If they were, they'd be out of stock by now and selling for twice to four times the original retail price, just like S&M did in every release that I've ever seen (which is in the last year or so). Last time I looked, David Blaine still has his red White Lions AIP bottle on sale, and I think there were only a hundred of those. At least there, there's an excuse - they're bloody expensive. But a deck of cards that sells for six or seven bucks is in a whole different league. The AIP is the bigs, the majors, while a deck of cards is more like AA minor leagues.
(Again, for the baseball-impaired, that's two leagues down from the major leagues, the major leagues being the teams that compete for the World Series in America. They're the farm teams that the majors recruit talent from - like the high school freshman compared to the college senior or the graduate student.)
