Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 8744538" data-attributes="member: 18">I'm concerned that WotC may have created a Cyberpunk 2077 situation here, based on reactions on non-TTRPG sites.The issue is, they've gone for a fake/bullshot trailer, promised the earth, and yet are absolutely new to this, working with a new engine (not saying that's not the right choice, but if this was a KS, that'd be a major risk factor), and have presented absolutely no timeline, but sort of implied it might be kind of soon (I think accidentally).Looking at people on TTRPG sites, a lot of them have played D&D, or do play it, and the problem is, they think this is going out soon, and that that stuff was in-engine (rather the CGI fake-o stuff it actually is). There are people talking about how this is going to solve their VTT problems, because it'll be so easy to use (!??!), people seem to think they'll have this sometime next year (?!?!?!?!) and people don't seem to get that, to look like that, it ain't going to run on your laptop or tablet or anything, you'll need a serious gaming PC. They also don't seem to think it'll be monetized. Intentionally or otherwise, WotC have created a ton of hype, and set a ton of expectations. That is not necessarily good.So I think there's going to be an awful lot of disappointment over the next several years as this product both:A) Fails to come out promptly.andB) Isn't the product people want it to be.And that's before any monetization stuff hits, even.</blockquote>
