[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9271697, member: 6704184"] Absolutely. It would be wild for them to do it sooner than that. Yeah they want the entire D&D ecosystem using the most current rules as quickly as possible. So the thing folks are forgetting in this part of the discussion is that they aren’t just selling their own products on DDB anymore. The more 3pp migrate to the new phb, the more players do, and the more third party sourcebooks they can sell on DDB that specifically support the new core books. I think they want that new SRD out [I]fast[/I]. Not because it’s needed for content to be on DDB, but because people don’t want to make big high value products exclusively [I]for[/I] DDB. They want to also sell them elsewhere, and wotc learned the hard way recently just how opposed the 3pp community is to having to make deals with wotc in order to do that. So, if they want the critical role Marquet Setting Guide to end up on DDB and be made using the revised options and rules in the new core books, and see a version of the Gunslinger with weapon mastery, or whatever, they need for CR to be able to make a print book using an open license SRD.
