[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9637472, member: 7006"] DDB would be a reason to stick with thing as they are, I agree... but my own instinctual feeling is that because it's merely just a character sheet program really, it has never and would not ever reach the heights of usage across the globe that would make the reprogramming of the system too much of an hassle. At the end of the day... I think it'll be easier for players to nope out of it when they grow truly bored of the 5E engine than they would have if they were using a complete and feature-full Project Sigil-- with all the bits and bobs of animations and digital character/monster minis and visualized mechanics. I mean we saw it with D&D Insider... those were fantastic character and monster builder programs but they weren't enough to keep 4E floating above the water line. And if 5E wains... tossing out DDB altogether or retrofitting the program to work with whatever the 6E game would be is not beyond the realm of possibility. But like others have said... we still have a good 5 years of 5E24 at least before the thoughts of 6E and the beginnings of work on it would start up. And who knows where things will stand at that point in time? Way too early to guess. [/QUOTE]
