[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7992770, member: 6802378"] You have to remember other obstacle in the industry. The translation usually is slower than the original editions. The last sourcebook I bought months ago was Xanathar guide when it was translated into Spanish. The strategy by WotC now is higher number of readers, not more books for the same number of readers, and this seems is working very well. Why to change it when they are making money? The best trick to try sell a 5.5 Ed is a new d20 game without the logo D&D, for example a d20 Fortnite Save the World or a d20 Overwatch. Maybe they will use the idea by Paizo for Pathfinder where the racial traits are replaced with an optional list of racial feats, and the class features with class feats. Other option would be to use a different system for leveling up, with two pillars, the classic power level (bonus for saves and attacks, +hit points, power levels for spellcasting), and other the talent level (known languanges, no-combat feats, bonus for social interactions or investigation). Today marvel superheroes are making more money with the movies (and toys) than with the paper-printed comics, and I guess the future of D&D will be making more money with the videogames and media productions than the old classic TTRPG. My theory is in a future many superheroes will be "nerfed" to be adapted to videogames more easily, and this also will allow TTRPGs about superheroes but with leveling up. Now WotC doesn't need a best-seller novel as "Games of Thrones", because others are doing those work, profesional writters and cinema production studios, and lot of people are very used to videogames of epic fantasy. * How would be a Ravenloft version of "R.L.Stine's Goosebumps", gothic horror for teens? * They don't want to start the work to start when they know they are a lot of new things to be added and theses may be broken because munchkings found something.
