Might be they are working on (or collaborating on) some nifty digital offering into which such supplemental material would be folded and perhaps sold. But I think I'd slightly alter your premise to "we're working on something that will help us make more money"-- Which can also include increasing sales of other products. I believe the Basic Rules serve just that function, as you and others here mention. The free Basic Rules serve them in a couple of ways-- increase goodwill and have an easy hook to bring in new players. Both of which should translate into making more money.  So, I can see them releasing something free and useful to make the main product more compelling. I really have no strong feeling one way or the other which way they'll go. With regard to baseless speculation-- When Mike makes comments like that, I get the impression he is very vaguely teasing something they are actively working on in the background. There were several oblique hints about DM's Guild in his feed for many months prior. So, what would make the supplemental material more useful? My best wild guess would be that it comes in a format that increases usability beyond just providing the stats. The obvious (though not necessarily correct) idea would be as data for a set of digital tools. Something besides fantasy grounds. Another possibility is releasing it on DM's Guild in a format that others could build on easily. Shrug. Who knows. AD</blockquote>
