You were painting a scenario that had nothing to do what is in the rules.

He explicitly said that we would, yup, and the 2028 lineup at GenCon 2027, etc.

Well, yup, that was probably a big part of thst phase ending.

Yup, for sure, all sorts of possibilities. Hard to say what exactly happened at this point

We have had Widlemoint, we have had Witch light, we have had the many Settings of the Radiant Citadel. Mostly, third parties have absolutely exploded with Settings in the past decade, and at this point WotC is putting those up on Beyond.

Not evidence for anything in particular, just clarifying the timeline for the shakeup that Ayoub described.

Just clarifying the timeline, I honestly don't know what it means: but the most explicit Dark Sun test came well after the shakeup Ayoub was describing.

Dan Ayoub was put in charge of D&D Franchise on July 9th last year, the Dark Sun Subclasses came a month and a half later.

They have said there is physical material being provided to retailers for DMs to run games in store...but realistically, if they are going to do a lot, digital of some sort seems inevitable

Well, I posted that mere hours before Dan Ayoub publicly laid out WotC commitment to announcing whole year slates at GenCon every year starting this year. So vague speculation overtaken by concrete data pretty much immediately.

Specifically, they were interspersing talking about Gygax Greyhawk material and upcoming product Seasons.

This sounded different, it sounded like what Gygax is working on is a part of WotC publishing schedule.

Well, this ages poorly or well, depending on how you look at it.

You know what I don't know if the "nobody reads the DMG" meme still applies in the 2024 era? Maybe some don't, but the new DMG does not seem to be in general as ignored as the 2014 one was.

How dare you take such a nuanced and open minded position towards other people's joy, in clear defiance of all our most sacred traditions.
