[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 6420253, member: 6677017"] I can see this as a possibility, though I don't put it in my "I can see this is coming" category. Cool if it happens though. I've been really optimistic about 5e, and generally the products have validated my confidence in the designers. But with regards to electronic products, I'm pretty much in the same camp. Okay, I disagree strongly. One of the reasons we are getting what (IMO) is the best version of D&D so far is because the designers appear to have been given control over the process. They are planning to make a version of the game that will last for a long time, and trying to make every product solid and called for. Instead of just churning out a bunch of material of various levels of quality and then ditching the edition when it gets saturated, they are taking a much slower, more researched release angle. I've seen the results in the PHB and the MM, while I can always criticism some of the results, I completely approve of how and why they are going about it. I went into this trusting the designers because of how they were tackling it, and my trust was rewarded with the product I want. If the suits were in charge, there is no way it would have been as good, and I might not have even ended up buying/using it. *I'm not some sort of WotC fanboy. Hate 4e and everything it represents (okay, slight exaggeration--I do like a few things it did) and WotC lost a lot of goodwill in my eyes because of it. I just could tell they had learned from it and weren't using the same design and marketing strategy this time around. [/QUOTE]
