[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9239940, member: 6802378"] Sorry but I haven't could read all the posts. I can understand they are a megacorporation and they want to earn a lot of money to pay the bills. But this is not only about to sell a product with a good price-quality ratio but the prestige of the brand, and here the company should coherent with an ethical code. They shouldn't test our patiente and loyalty because then they would be risking, betting seriously, the prestige of the brand. The company has to make merit to earn the customer's affection for the brand I don't want to boycott them, but if they don't sell the type of products I love to collect, then I will think twice before buying a new title. Is the 5.24 edition in square format? That is a radical change. WotC did it with Star Wars saga RPG, but it is a strange feeling to see a square book in the self with the rest of books. I suspect not even WotC team can safe what will be the ultimate plans for 2024 because there could be surprising changes in the company. And the strategy to follow will depend on the economic events of this new year. D&D is not only the rules, but as brand is also the lore/background, the settings, the characters, the timeline of the worlds.. Here Hasbro worries more about D&D as brand and potential multimedia-franchise. The TTRPG would be the bait to sell the rest of different merchandising products. I have said in the past the weak point of d20 system is not ready to be universal and compatible. You can create a d20 sci-fi or a d20 superheroes, but the firearms and modern technology can't be added to fantasy d20 without a serious risk to break the power balance. This is a serious handicap if Hasbro wants to publish licenced titles based in franchises from cinematographic, comic, or videogame industries. I don't like the format of three books together, because I don't want to buy adventures I will never play, or this only once. * A lot of players don't want to learn more systems. Or at least they would rather to focus in only one for the crunch. I love the lore of Eclipse Phase RPG, the transhumanist sci-fi game I bought, but I can't understand the list of abilities scores.
