They made a lot of sweeping statements about never invalidating existing books, so they will have to tread very carefully with a new edition with some fans.
Speaking as a player who owns the DCC rulebook (and a dozen or so adventures) I would rather see them publish a new edition and increase interest in the game than worry about "invalidating" my stuff. Right now DCC feels like a game very much in decline. My local DCC Meetup.com group used to be pretty active, but a year ago it disbanded completely. It's no use protecting the value of my $30 rulebook when the playerbase is dwindling. A second edition could put a fresh coat of paint that I think they need to compete with Daggerheart, Draw Steel, etc.
Yeah, they've definitely lost mindshare over the past few years.
It’s mostly an own goal with the Judges Guild stuff and the rest is out of their hands like the ascension of Shadowdark.
Absolutely the same.
Yeah, it doesn’t make me less likely to use what I have, which are complete rules anyways...but I won't give Goodman Games another dime.
