Great to hear something from Wizards but maybe in the next interview we can ask if there will be any more sets after Masters of the Force.

It's hard to believe Fool didn't ask that question. And let's assume that he did, why the hell didn't Peter answer it? The answer would be obvious, from where I'm sitting.

I asked Fool about that, he mentioned NDAs.

I am assuming he took some notes from Rob. Be free to still at least do some interaction rather than none.
And since the future sets could very well be about stuff that haven't released yet (TFU, TOR), LFL would be a little picky, wouldn't you think?

He doesn't even have to give the set's name. We're just looking for a sign that the game will go on. In my experience, when a WotC employee cites the phrase "NDA," it usually means one of two things: 1. There is someone in the room, another WotC employee probably, that the person doesn't want to have that information because it's his or her "ace in the hole" against that person. 2. The person hasn't been told the answer and is trying to make it look as though he or she just isn't allowed to talk about it. Not saying that's the case here, but that is the typical issue. You almost have to have an NDA of your own to get past that bull crap, and sometimes not even that is good enough.

I think that might have a negative impact on sales. If fact, they should announce 10 more sets after MotF, then just stop after DT. The cash will roll in, business ethics be blasteded!

Hey no sweat at all - I'm really happy I can keep contributing in a positive and efficient manner to the community at large. I also have to thank Jason (Nickname) for all of his help in the last while and forging a strong relationship with him - this wouldn't have been possible without his guidance and assistance. I can only hope I can continue to deliver over the course of the next few months. If all goes as planned there will be a few more to come!  Thank you for all your contributions to the game Fool, they are greatly appreciated. Also to NickName, a big Huge thank you for all that you do for us bud!!!

No, no, no... they should do it the Wizkids way. Wait a week after releasing the last set, then pack up and say "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

On a related note, these type of actions are a great way to alienate your customers. Simple questions regarding future sets shouldn't be ignored or waved away by an NDA.

Once again, as has been said elsewhere, no they would not say MotF will be the last set. But the fact that they won't say it's NOT is just as pointed a comment.

I wasn't actually asking that question.  It just seemed odd to me that Tirade in his post actually seemed to expect that we would get information like that from Wizards.

Not trying to knock what you said, but as former military what they are doing is pretty smart. Not trying to argue or anything just my opinion.

Patience is probably the best course of action at the moment.

Anything is possible, but that is my hope as well. At the same time, deep down I feel we are reaching the end of the line. A Hiatus of any sort would also be nice to see, if it meant there was more sets being made down the line.

I just know Topps killed Heroclix even with the next set (or was it two sets?) planned out. And the set was known before they closed.
We have no idea about what comes after April, and no one's willing to tell. In addition, the people who used to talk with us are clammed up.
Isn't this where Bob Hope would sing "Thanks for the memories"?
