For what it's worth, I'd love to see more than what's on that schedule myself - I'll join you calling for more 5E material.I'm not convinced that Wizard's will find it worth their time to listen to us, though.Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used the phrase "slow and steady wins the race", as I think it confuses the issue. I actively believe that WotC is indifferent to "the race" - staying ahead of Paizo on ICv2 or even making money on the RPG books is immaterial to them. They're pleased the core books sold well, because it means there's a large, well-engaged D&D audience out there, but it's not gamers' hardcovers budget they're after.Let me ask you this - if Wizards never puts out another D&D book again, would you go see a blockbuster D&D movie made by Universal? (Assuming it's not terrible, obviously. Ultimately the movie will still have to be a good one to become the kind of smash hit they're hoping for.)I'm not asking if you'd be more likely to if they put out more books - it's a binary question with a binary answer. Will you go see the movie? Will you take your non-gamer family and friends to the theater to see it?That's the only question WotC / Hasbro is concerned with. You're getting those replies because people were burnt by previous editions' floods. Obviously they could release more content than they are now and not flood the market with 5E material, but I'm not sure I see a convincing reason they should.Because while I too am a tabletop gamer who'd love to see more subclasses / magic items / campaign settings / what have you for 5E... I also have plenty to play with already... There are years worth of campaigns to be had with the core books alone, and I don't think releasing any non-AP products in 2015 will make the slightest bit of difference to the success or failure of D&D at the box office (or the video game box office for that matter, given that's an even bigger industry than movies).In short, we are in full agreement when it comes to our personal preferences, but I don't think they matter to the success of the brand in the slightest.</blockquote>
