WotC appeared to have a plan for the continued development of 5.5E after the books launched, but with Sigil sunsetting, that "walled garden" approach to monetizing the game for online play and drawing the big third-party publishers in ... leaves out the fact that they don't have the platform for people to play in.I was loudly told that the 5.5E PHB was the best-selling book at launch ever, but I noticed it was not mentioned by Hasbro in their next report, so that likely means it's cooled. I think it will be really interesting to see what, if anything, they do from here. There may be a big tie-in with Stranger Things in November (I think that's when it's due...) and that would nicely combine with the Christmas season, so we'll see.My group is likely to finish up the game we're playing now, but no one seems excited about picking up the new Edition, so I'm floating a ton of other games to see if one will interest people. It's a really exciting "best of times, worst of times," environment where I don't think anyone knows what's happening to the industry next. I just hope for some fun and new gaming experiences.</blockquote>
