[QUOTE="Empath Negative, post: 5849452, member: 6690794"] Nah, yours too. Why? Because there's a s*** ton of money to be made in apps... if you market and sell them correctly. Although many people (such as myself) love just even *having* the books, it would almost be smarter for Wizards to market their product almost exclusively digital. Why? For one they can sell you a license or somesuch nonsense and therefore you can't say... resell the books on ebay. If the books are digital they can incorporate apps right into them. For example, let's say the D&D Master Edition that's coming up Sells all its books digitally... and then sells you an app that becomes a kind of interactive SRD for your books, allowing you to build your character via things from the books you've purchased. But the real interesting money will be in "digital dice". What are digital dice? Something I just invented. They don't exist yet. They would be dice connected to your gaming portal via bluetooth (i.e. your smart phone or ipad) that tell that smart phone or ipad what you rolled (which, let's face it... would be a total novelty but you know techie nerds and geeks would love it... combining the visceral feel of rolling and the digital convenience of... digital).
