The problem that I see is Wizard's poorly done move into digital. I wrote an open letter about it <a href="http://www.coryhuff.com/an-open-letter-to-wotc-greg-leeds-simon-blackwell-and-jerome-lalin" target="_blank">here</a>. The gist is this: - Wizards is building on outdated tech (.Net) and poorly done tech (Silverlight). They missed a huge opportunity with the virtual tabletop and with open source, and those holes are being filled by little startups like Obsidian Portal and Roll20. - Paizo's efforts in digital, while still nascent, are much more exciting than what Wizards is doing. Their Kickstarter campaign is double-funded, with two weeks to go. - There's a serious lack of geek culture at the executive level. The C-suite there is full of people from banking, consumer goods, and publishing industries. All in all, 5th edition gets a big "eh" from me, but the digital efforts of Wizards makes me want to cry.</blockquote>
