[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8041680, member: 4348"] 2024 is still a ways off. I think the more likely thing that will be done will be a new hardback which has a lot more options and can be incorporated into gameplay. It could address many of the concerns that are currently occupying people's minds while leaving the core books to remain selling as they are. Slight modifications to the core books may be made, but a majority of the options that are being discussed, I feel would come out in a new book which could act as optional rules to core, or even flat out replace rules from the core books. We are talking about a book that some may consider essential, and could address thing such as ancestries and heritage and how to replace the core rules with those ideas. Also, perhaps new renditions to old classes, including some of the more troublesome archetypes and classes with alternate names, approaches, and touches. Perhaps alternate rules for enemies the PC's will face, a different take on alignment, and changes to a few magic items. In addition, perhaps rules for being more sensitive to people's concerns around the gaming table and taking care to be a safe and welcoming place for all gamers to play. Some may see it as a fourth core rulebook even. I'd imagine such a project is only now in the initial stages though, so much could probably change in that regards, but would be slated to come out far sooner than 2024. This would enable the core rulebooks to remain largely compatible (even with slight changes) and not mess up the sales rates that they are currently trending at, while at the same time acknowledging problems that are currently ongoing with the game and attempting to address these difficulties.
