[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7674123, member: 7006"] You say this as though the D&D department of WotC is being held hostage here. Far from it. They are [b]okay[/b] with the current status quo. They specifically are doing what they're doing [b]on purpose[/b]. So no... the publishers of D&D have no issues right now at all, so it doesn't matter in the slightest how big or how small a publisher they are. It's only the [i]fans[/i] that are so up in arms and feeling like they're being held hostage here. They want to buy D&D stuff in much higher quantities that are currently available. But you know what? Too fricking bad. It's apparently not changing any time soon... D&D is [b]not[/b] going to be sold off to a "small publisher"... and if you play the game, then just [i]play the game[/i]. With what you have. You don't NEED three more books of options, there's more than plenty of options available right now to create characters ad infinitum. And if by some chance of alternate reality you've somehow already run through every single sub-class of every single class in the PH? Start running through the sub-classes in the Waterborne Adventures and the Alternate Class Options documents on the WotC website. Plenty of stuff there for you to use too. But if that's STILL not enough for you... then just stop playing 5E. No one will care. If it makes you happier to go back to Pathfinder, or return to World of Darkness, or start in on Savage Worlds, or try out Numerera... do it! Have fun! But enough with the fantasies of what [i]could[/i] happen for D&D if only someone else published it. Or how [i]if only[/i] WotC would follow the release model people keep insisting is "best for the game". Cause none of it is happening. Or at least, it ain't happening just because people keep repeating themselves saying they want it. WotC knows. They've known since the beginning. But they're still ONLY going to do what they'll do [i]when[/i] they feel the time is right to do it. [/QUOTE]
