[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 6559569, member: 18182"] I don't think WotC/Hasbro would even consider selling or licensing the D&D game, and I would not want them to. But if they did, FFG would be one of my top choices along with Paizo. FFG makes beautiful games that are fun to play and collect, but they would very most likely dramatically change the D&D release strategy more than WotC has! Just for fun speculation, here's how I think it would go. The new FFG D&D would be 5th edition REVISED. The game would get a graphical update which would include cards and weird dice (even weirder than your standard polyhedrals). There would be a new core book, but also an "update" box to update your current 5E rulebooks to the revised rules. We would no longer see the holy trinity of PHB, MM, and DMG, each core rulebook would be a complete game. However, we'd get several different D&D core games, like perhaps a Forgotten Realms themed D&D core book, followed later by an Eberron themed core book (imagine a cross between the PHB, DMG, MM and a setting book). Expansions wouldn't come at a crazy pace, but they would come consistently and include new adventures, card packs as player supplements, and the occasional splat. The changes would PISS OFF a small but vocal segment of the fan base, and the game would be EXPENSIVE. But beautiful, soooo beautiful . . . . And there would be a dice app for your smartphone.
