I just don't think the approach of "new rule set, but you convert the material" will work out long-term. At the very least, WotC should provide a core product line that sets the bar for 5E products: the core rules, adventures, settings, and theme and splat books. They don't need to do a lot of all of them, but at least some of each to give some options and show how its done. I even like the idea of some kind of product map where a new player could visually see how to proceed. You have the Starter Set in the middle. Then you have three regions: in one you have a line to Basic Rules, then from there to the core rule books, with splats and theme books radiating outward. Then in another you have story arcs and adventures, as well as "Rosetta Stone" PDF for conversion and a path to dndclassics.com. Then in the third zone you have a variety of setting gazetteers, with paths to more detailed material, including dndnclassics.com. Somewhere in there you have paths to non-WotC sources, 3PPs etc.I do think that part of the fun of getting into the hobby is figuring it all out, but that's only for a certain type of personality. Some people like it spelled out for them.Just thinking out loud here...I'm a bit lost, to be honest. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.Yes, true. This is what I was trying to get at - see my "product map" above.</blockquote>
