They only have the manpower to work on a project or two at a time - maybe we would have had conversion docs already, or a hypothetical in-house hardcover to be released later this year would have been announced by now, if they hadn't lost one of their number to jury duty. But we were never going to get all that much more than what we are now. I'd never accuse anyone who wants more D&D content of laziness or ineptitude, primarily because I myself would love to see more. But I don't need more to enjoy the excellent game that exists in front of me. In my view, 5E is complete, and any other material that comes out for it is gravy. I just got some new races and some bonus spells, and I'm an EN5ider patron so I've got more than enough to play with. While I don't begrudge anyone for wanting more from WotC, I also don't have any problems with WotC continuing on their present course. I do have a problem with folks arguing that because their personal preferences aren't being satisfied, that the game is doomed or that WotC is mismanaging it. They're managing it fine as far as I can see.I actually agree, in that I do think we'll see other properly playtested material than the APs come through eventually. But the emphasis is on "eventually". The pace is going to be much slower with such a small team. The Unearthed Arcana stuff is going to be rough and unpolished, but having the work done properly means waiting. There's no way around that that I can see - if they're not currently working on and playtesting an Eberron specific resource in secret for release some time in 2015, it means we've got a long time until we have something other than the rough draft to play with.Again, even at the current release rate, I've got more than enough to occupy my attention, so I'm fine being patient. No setting-specific material until 2016? I can wait. 2019? I can wait til then, too. Etc.It's not that they can't sell the products. They could, and probably make a decent profit off of them.It's that they could invest that same budget into Magic instead, and see ridiculously higher returns.</blockquote>
