I backed this and am excited!

Question: will there be a sidebar or paragraph or something explaining the procedure on how to run (not create but an example of play) a dungeon crawl with these methods? I find that’s where I stumble the most is how to take the wonderful info and flow narratively with the design intention

Out of curiosity, if I back this at the core hardcovers plus DD Guide level, am I more likely to get physical copies of the core books faster than I would if I preordered them now?

Because other folks will. That's why the OGL exists.
Sure, but WOTC would make money off of this just as well... so I really don't know why they wouldn't pursue it themselves. I can't believe they wouldn't realize there would be a market for it.

I don’t think WOTC thinks there is enough money in more in-depth products. It seems like their model is to keep their stuff more accessible to all and let 3PP products handle the more complex books.
