They had a plan, they had a licensee, and that fell through. If things had gone according to plan we would have had digital tools months ago. Then they had to start again from scratch. Some of this might be choice of partner. Had they gone with LoneWolf we might have seen things already. But it sounds like they want app/PDF replacement and tools all in one. 4) PDFsThis one is problematic. I have PDFs. Legal PDFs. Thank you Canadian Copyright Act and your provision on format shifting. Official PDFs would make things harder on me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'd still buy them though.This is one of those things where I blame WotC rather than the D&D team. This is likely the management being paranoid of piracy and vetoing PDFs. 3) Nothing to look forward toThis is tricky… I agree with the D&D team on not wanting to announce things until they're ready. The recent… unhappiness… over the cancellation of the Adventurer's Handbook highlights that. But a side effect is long periods where you have nothing to look forward to. There was this two month dead period of nothing between the DMG and the announcement of Princes of the Apocalypse. I don't really want a return of the endless product cycle of 3e/4e, where the hype on the next big thing began a month before the current product dropped or current storyline ended. So there was no time to hype the climax. A small window of of breathing time would be nice. I'm really not looking forward to April, when there's the wall of silence for three months until they're ready to announce the GenCon product. Smaller products would be nice… if only bigger articles on the website. 2) The WaitingMeh. First world problems. I was anxious and tired of waiting early in 2014 when I was ready for 5e to come out. Now I'm nice and chill having seen the game and knowing I have what I need. I don't *need* anything else to enjoy 5e. Any new product is pure bonus. 1) OGLOkay, this I agree with. The absence of an OGL is pure B.S. And the absence of a Community Use Policy or formal fan policy on creating fan content, updating content, etc is distilled weapons-grade B.S. Not to mention this would alleviate problems #3 and #2. And they said they'd get details of the OGL out by the end of 2014, so they're already a couple months late. Again, I imagine the issue is WotC vs the D&D team.</blockquote>
