Of course.  Are digital materials replacing physical media? No they aren't.  4e wasn't ONLY its digital tools subscription, and it isn't a dead system because of the subscription model.  It's mostly a dead system because it was polarizing and divisive.  If a bunch of OSR players want to start playing 4e they can gain access to 4e physical materials relatively cheaply.The fear that services like Foundry will turn off support for vtt content of out of print editions is valid I guess, but the number of out of print editions that still get supported would tend to indicate otherwise.The pandemic is not removing the EXISTENCE of physical RPG books and dice, while you rely on online games - those games still exist in physical forms. Your experience of not using a physical book or physical dice is not a universal experience, it's yours. For every group playing with digital tools on foundry, there's another playing on Zoom with books and dice.</blockquote>
