Let's just say with Hasbro/WotC I'm a bit skeptical of what they say and do these days. I never said everything they say and do is a lie, stop it. But face it they have kept stepping in dog poo fairly often the last couple years to warrant folks' mistrust. And please, people on both sides of the "new edition" argument concede they didn't want to call it a new edition so it would not effect the sales of current and upcoming books. I've never begrudged 3PP (and Wiz, for the matter) making more books. That's how they make money. Grim Hollow is updated their 2 books so they will be inline with the new 2024 rules. Would they do their own revision now if Wizards wasn't issuing new core books? Maybe, maybe not. Of course I was being overly dramatic on the VTT thing. However, if it is a success they will try and do all of those things if they think they can make more money out of it. Pen and paper will still exist but will not be a priority, Chris Cooks has said they are going all in with digital. With their corporate mentality it would not be out of the realm of possibility to stop printing books and have them be digital only in the not too distant future if the VTT becomes the monster hit they hope it will be. Cutting costs where they can to save money is what corporations do, in good times and bad times. If you want to keep waving the Hasbro/Wizards battle flag that's fine. It's not a flag I will rally around for now. Hopefully, there will be a reason for me to change my mind down the road. I care about the D&D brand, I'm just sour on the current caretakers. There really isn't anything else left for us to discuss. So I will wish you happy gaming!</blockquote>
