[QUOTE="Michael Linke, post: 8576294, member: 6873682"] I'm pretty sure by "formats" they're referring to the types of publications they already do: Adventures, Campaign Settings, Bestiaries. My interpretation of the statemt about a "format we haven't seen before" wasn't that it's a wholly new format, but that the settings in question had not previously been released in that specific format. An example might be a revival of Spelljammer, but published as a book that's primarily adventure compilation--the focus being less on the systems and worlds of wildspace, and more on the kinds of adventures you could have--or a revival of Dark Sun, but published as a book of hazards and environmental affects--communicating the setting not as a specific place or history, but as a high concept of "here's ways the environment might try to kill you, imagine for yourself what kind of world might have all these". Something like this would be really smart. It would expand and update the setting, while leaving the original material useful for further depth if one wanted to pick it up on DriveThruRPG. [/QUOTE]
