[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 6552087, member: 63962"] It doesn't really matter if they did the Tiamat books in-house or not, they are still the publisher and it was definitively in their 5e release schedule. They are WotC branded products done in close cooperation with WotC. Now, for my part, I liked the Starter set adventure, but haven't really bothered with the other ones. I don't want to run any more adventure path style stuff. I haven't even finished the starter set yet, I have about 1/3rd left. I have barely had time to read the PHB/DMG/MM, so I don't need any more rule books either. I would like to see a digital tool for character creation. Especially for spellcasters it's quite awkward at the moment. I would also have purchased any more sandboxy adventures, or free-standing adventures. I would possibly buy a campaign setting, but probably not, except in the form of a sandbox/partial sandbox. That is something I would really like. I think WotC botched the digital tools. I have no idea why it's so hard for them to do good digital tools. That's coming from a software developer that works in a company that could have done a job like this. I find it really weird, because there should be dead easy to find someone interested in both computers and role-playing games to run such a project. It's probably something like 25% of their customers! All the free tools that have been created and removed due to trademark/copyright violations is a testament to this. It's not the work of a couple of hours, but neither is it a monumental task. The company I work in would probably only need to add an interaction designer and a graphical artist to create some awesome tools. ... did I mention that I am baffled by the lack of good digital tools for the third edition in a row?!
