Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercurius" data-source="post: 6918213" data-attributes="member: 59082">5E is doing really, really well, right? So it seems that what they're doing is pretty good for D&D, regardless of not pleasing what seems like a small minority of fans. There are always going to be some folks who aren't happy, who aren't getting what they want--and maybe most of us won't get exactly what we want. But it seems that WotC has found a nice sweet-spot with 5E where they are pleasing a large number of folks and maintaining economic success. Why mess with that?Now maybe that will change. Maybe at some point they'll say, "let's do things a bit differently." Right now they're still maintaining high sales without putting out more product, but perhaps at some point the sales on the PHB start declining. At some point they'll want to boost that, perhaps with another yearly book ala the 1E era.Anyhow, I think it is time to accept the fact that not only will they never go back to the 2E-3E-4E gluttony era, but the reason they won't because it is bad business, it is bad for the game, and what they're doing is working. But again, I wouldn't be surprised if they added another book or two a year at some point. Expanded a bit. There's a lot of degrees between 5E's three-books-a-year and the 10-20+ books of years past. How about 4-5 books a year? Maybe once they get past that three year mark, they'll expand a bit. But I think they will do so only slightly, and at a conservative pace.</blockquote>
