It's common knowledge that the best next product is [insert pet interest here].

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
Fool! Clearly [my even more esoteric pet interest] is more popular. All the people in my [esoteric pet interest] group agree.

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
Heading off the rumors: There is potential for support. We'll have to see if there's enough demand to justify a new book as well as a reprint.

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
There already was more support - in the form of "Hall of Judgment". That was a far more sensible followup than just moving on to something else.

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
In fact I found the thread where IMHO people got carried away about the 'next' box set

This isn't even addressing the fact that the people "voting" in that thread are GURPS fans. Sales to GURPS fans are likely to be weak, as those people already own most of the source material a boxed set would be based on, and would be lukewarm on paying for the same material twice, however pretty the box. We really need the input of fans of other RPGs thinking about trying a new system, and even non-gamers thinking about breaking into RPGs. They're more likely to buy what we create, because they don't already own all the content. Moreover, bringing them onside grows our customer base, which is a huge economic incentive to publish what they want.

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
Though, alternatively, you might alienate the vast majority of the customer base and attract only those few who like the union of all of those elements rather than those who would prefer to keep their peanut butter and their chocolate separate, as it were.

Re: The Future of the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game?
The problem with generic systems is "Oh, as GM I need to do a lot of work to make this generic system usable with what I want to play", whereas a prefab genre product is pick up and play. Also, reality is that no other RPGs have come close to the success of D&D (counting Pathfinder as a flavor of D&D), so it's quite possible dungeon fantasy does actually represent the majority of the market.
