[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9234757, member: 7034611"] The One Ring is not 5e compatible, they have a second RPG that is. good question, let me start by saying I do not expect this to happen anytime soon. WotC will not stop supporting other VTTs or offering printed books now, in 5-7 years, maybe. They first need to get people to buy into the VTT, before they can build a wall around them. With 2024 looming on the horizon and the VTT not out, this is the worst possible time to attempt this. Let's assume they tried this now anyway, then I expect many people to resist this and not move onto the WotC VTT. This helps the 5e-likes that are available on other VTTs, probably ToV the most, as it should offer broad support for other VTTs and is similar enough. That might turn ToV into the new Pathfinder. I don't think games that are significantly different from 5e will benefit as much as those that are very similar, because if you are willing to not stick to the 5e-likes, then there is a huge world of games out there, so even if as many people leave 5e altogether, they spread out much wider.
