Sure, they could drop a surprise summer hardcover on us, but everything else they've released has been announced several months in advance, so I don't think they're quietly sitting on something just because - we'll have at least a few months lead time, and the fact that they've not announced anything else means you'll be waiting til fall at the earliest for more RPG products. Which is fine by me, frankly - see above where people point out the schedule for Pathfinder's first six months. If you weren't interested in the adventure paths, the core books were basically it.No links to anything other than "we're working on it", and until there's an announcement on either of those there won't be any more concrete information. I'm more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to community licensing, since they would be hush-hush about that until everything's announced (making 5E OGL, or even setting up some kind of approval process for more traditional licensing, will take a lot of legal hoop-jumping and has to be a tough sell internally), but honestly despite the fact that they've said they'd like to do electronic format stuff, I'm not expecting any PDFs at all. You're right, it's not hard at all to make happen if they wanted it to, which is why I'm convinced it's just not going to happen at all. Hopefully that's because they've got alternatives in mind (there are better formats than PDF out there - easier to search / navigate at the table, etc.), but quite possibly because someone higher-up at WotC legitimately does believe electronic formats make piracy too easy, which is stupid beyond words.</blockquote>
