Who's Duncan?

He may be working on 7 years of storylines, but the order that the stories are in may yet to be determined.

What if 7 years of stories in 14 5-10 page AP treatments that can be put into production at any time? Maybe match that up with 7 campaign settings. Maybe only flesh them out enough right now that they could be handed to a 3rd party to flesh into a full products over the course of 4-5 months...

Interesting correlation, but also with a bunch of interesting distinctions. I think these business discussion threads are a small but vocal minority of what goes on at enworld. I think it would be a much more interesting metric to compare volume of posts on each subboards and compare what...

Your argument is that switching from OGL to SGL is the reason that the Paizo took over as the leading D&D system under a new name. My argument is that nobody could have done that had WotC not put D&D under something as open as the OGL. OGL was definitely good for gamers who didn't want move on...

I would totally buy a D&D lunchbox. EDIT: Can it have bobby the barbarian on it?

Were we discussing what was good for WotC, or what was good for gamers?

It worked out better than the OGL I'd say. With the OGL, they're still competing with their licensees.

I'm of the opinion that we won't see a full fledged OGL, but something more restrictive. Like a guide to building modules, APs, and MMs without stepping on WotCs copyright, along with some boilerplate text that needs to be included in every book that explains the 3rd party nature of the...

Well, at least you didn't suggest that they just slap D&D stickers on to the work of others. 8/15 Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 8/15 First Greyhawk AP 1/16 Relaunch of Dungeon Magazine - Centered around short modules and monsters. Only available as PDF, but formatted for print and binder...

I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

So like 0.1% made up of people who want something that WotC isn't making and are complaining loudly about it, 0.5% who are trying to speak reason to the 0.1%, and the rest of everyone just playing the damn game?

Four continents of the same world. Four eras on the same world. Eradication of canon?

I think so. I like to think that they'll cover the high fantasy settings as D&D in the next several years.

Very nice.

How about a 5.0.1? A second revision to the fifth edition? Include any eratta, more useful charts and diagrams, rework the language fluff, change out the art, but leave the actual rules and mechanics the same. Does that garner a similar effect? Do a point release every 5 years?

It would be very interesting to see them bring back Dungeon magazine (it's 4th) and have it cover new monsters and shorter modules. Do up a 100ish page PDF that includes in each issue some sort of new short module (3rd party sourced), one older module that's been converted to 5e (by a 3rd...

That you can't see it is another problem. You just suggested that the D&D team does nothing but slap D&D labels on products developed by others. That's massively insulting.

Could you get more insulting?

To be fair to you, it's technically 5 hardcovers, and 1 box set. Hardcover #6 comes out next month. On another note, you're beating a dead horse here. Yeah. We get that you want more places to spend your money. Bitching about it here has been an interesting exercise in working out what...
