[QUOTE="AlViking, post: 9763118, member: 6906980"] They explained why they didn't in the interview. There's no "As far as we are aware" when it comes to CR not being offered money by WotC to stick with D&D unless you assume they are lying when they said they have not. They chose to continue with D&D because they started planning this campaign before DH was released and they didn't know how well DH would be received. They also felt that since DH is still in it's infancy it made more sense to stick with D&D. There isn't really any big mystery here if you take them at their word. It's a simple straightforward and logical explanation. I get that some people are excited for a new game but would it have made anywhere near as big a splash if it were published by anyone else? Good news is that they will be doing DH live streams for those that want it. If those streams get enough views there's nothing stopping them from spinning off another long term campaign While Brennan continues as the DM for D&D. I guess I just don't understand why this is a big issue other than WOTC hate I guess, switching over to an unproved brand new system would have been a huge risk when they're already taking a risk in changing the DM and style of the game. I don't see DH ever really overtaking D&D, that doesn't mean it can't be quite successful or that you can't play it if you want. [/QUOTE]
