[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5321882, member: 52734"] Oh, well - if someone's stupid enough to hire me, this is what they would get: 0) Stop production of all future books beyond those announced and sell off current 4E stock of material 1) Get designers to work on a stripped-down version of D&D; the pure basics that would be required to be able to play a game of D&D. I imagine this would very much resemble BD&D. Take this version and put together a RPG-in-a-box that covers levels 1-5 with this system; it would become the gateway into the game. 2) Create two distinct lines that (R)B&P [(Root)Beer & Pretzels] D&D, aimed at casual gaming and a rules-lite "wahoo" sort of gaming and A(dvanced) D&D, designed for those who want sensory-overload levels of detail and options. (R)B&PDD would likely be a single volume expansion, AD&D would be multiple books - an initial base of Player's book (Races, Classes, Feats, Skills, Simple Spells & Items lists), Equipment (Equipment, Magic Items, Spells), DM's book (Advice, Worldbuilding), Monsters (Monsters, Hazards and Traps) and Options (Optional rules and whatnot). After the initial release of this set, settle down to a release schedule of 1 book per year in this category. Try and get the system close enought in compatibility that using adventures and whatnot from previous versions is a breeze with the new game. 3) The rest of the line would consist of adventures and campaigns-in-a-box. The initial campaign world would be a brand new world, and from there release one campaign setting a year. Set all settings as of the time of their 1st release and scrap metaplots (but perhaps mention them as "if you want to follow these events, here's what you need to do...") 4) Dole out computer support to a reputable 3rd-party vendor to have a character creation/DM's helper tool out at or before launch of the new system. Return PDFs or other ways of electronically accessing all previous books from the different versions of D&D. 5) Within a year of release of the new version, have a D&D video game out and a TV show (possibly animated) in the wings. Work towards getting a [I]good[/I] D&D movie deal. [/QUOTE]
