[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8306370, member: 27996"] I'm in agreement - the 50th anniversary of D&D is just too much of a marketing opportunity to ignore. But I'm thinking it will be a revised 5e along the lines of 1e to 2e AD&D. WOTC ought to shift to an incremental "new edition" model similar to how Chaosium did CoC for decades. LOL! I did the same thing (slagged on all the non-human races) and got the same result! One could get the impression that if you're not down with the furries it seems that you are someone that they are not interested in selling their new digital tools to. :unsure: If they're smart they'll wait until 2024 and a revised/new edition to end any licenses anyone else has, and only then become the sole purveyor of online D&D. But I can see why they would want to make this move. The way the player base has grown, even with a super cheap subscription they can rake in tens of millions if they can just sign up a fraction of the player base. What they ought to do is also partner with someone like heroforge so that you can get a 3d mini printed from the virtual mini in the VTT. That way a player can have their figure no matter what kind of table they play on. or just to have a collectable physical version of their character. I can see many $$$ flowing their way if they could make such a thing a reality... [/QUOTE]
