If the VTT is their money-maker, then it strikes me as axiomatic that the rules will be developed so as to dovetail with that. It won't happen all at once (particularly since the VTT doesn't exist yet), but slowly over time.I disagree. I think it's entirely rational to expect WotC to do what makes them the most money, and that they'll see no issue in making the rulebooks into an on-ramp for the VTT if that becomes their bread-and-butter the way they're hoping it will. To that extent, it won't be anything blatant, but we will see a dedicated push to get people onto the VTT, and part of that push will be what's in the rulebooks (we've seen previous editions dip their toes into similar areas, e.g. how much more important miniatures became in 3.X and 4E).</blockquote>
