[QUOTE="Sadras, post: 7959436, member: 6688277"] Rightly or wrongly, I had the same interpretation and expections you did on this modularity being advertised. Then DM's Guild opened up with so many creative minds providing different ways to expand or incorporate 4e styled-tactics/poisitioning into the game [B]OR [/B]old-school style play [B]OR[/B] hardcore/lethal rules and that got me thinking that any future modular ideas they designed would be competing with all these creative minds - which is not a great position to be in. So I resigned myself to the modular approaches they had originally created. Xanathar's came up with a few creative/colour ideas to incorporate for each class but that was that. Now I'm pretty sure I did read somewhere at sometime (don't ask me to cite), anything published within the DMs Guild may be utilised by WotC in future products - so who knows. Maybe one day they will release a book solely about add-on's, modular rules, changes with the best and brightest ideas from all these many sources (DMs Guild, Online Forums...etc). Like a famous Adder once said [I]Hope springs eternal Baldrick[/I]. [U]EDIT:[/U] This is not a bash at 5e. I'm happy with my tinker-friendly 5e. [/QUOTE]
