[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 7669214, member: 5143"] I don't know, they swore no PHB2. They've also said their idea was to introduce no new classes at all. They've committed to a once a year major change to the PHB but the implication was that it would be released online as well. I think that a book called "Unearthed Arcana" that is a compilation of online stuff might be possible, though. They certainly MIGHT compile multiple years worth of web content into a book at some point. Though, I still think the point of playing the game is for the storyline contained in the adventure and the focus on your character's personality. Those things will always change so there is still infinite expandability without changing any races or classes. Though, we already know that there WILL be new races and new class features. They've already been released. You can get them online. Putting them into a book doesn't really help anyone. Print is already dead. It just doesn't know it yet. Tablets are growing like crazy over the last couple of years and will continue to over the next couple. E-readers are a HUGE market that is slowly being eaten by tablets. Over the next year, Windows 10 will come out which will support touch even better than Windows 8.1 does now. Intel will release even faster processors that use even less power. The Surface Pro 3 is selling like crazy and the iPad even more crazy. Android tablets are becoming a major force as well. Behind the scenes everything is falling into place to make owning a tablet something that nearly EVERYONE does in the next 2 years. Heck, I was listening to a podcast last week about Tech News and they happened to mention the recently announcement of Fantasy Grounds supporting D&D officially. The podcasters both didn't play D&D but they said that the news could only be good because WOTC needs to do anything they can to modernize D&D since we are in a digital age and if they don't find a way to make their game modern and digital then they would die completely. Now, obviously, the podcasters in question don't really know how big and strong the D&D community is. But, I mostly agree with them. We live in a society where the idea of sitting down at a table and playing a game without computers of any kind of is already laughable to most. I can tell you that when I run D&D Expeditions at my local store only about 4 players out of 15 own the PHB. The rest found a pirate copy of it from the internet and access it on their phones and tablets...or constantly badger other people to borrow theirs. None of them really want to buy another book....ever. [/QUOTE]
