[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9209873, member: 7038056"] I realize we're in the early stages of this and as usual, WotC isn't communicating their intent so there's lots we don't know. I will happily retract that statement if someone can point me to a statement they've released that sheds some light on what they're planning. I suspect at this point it's mostly just them testing the waters with the products they've selected so far and who knows how many people they've reached out to. I'd be interested to know if anyone they approached actually said no and if so, why. That being said, my issue so far is there's no insight into how the folks that have gotten their stuff published on there were chosen or what a path forward looks like for other publishers to be able to work with the DDB team to get their stuff published there. I'd like to see them publish a set of guidelines (which probably would just be their own content guidelines that Kyle Brink talked about during his apology tour earlier this year) and then provide a means for interested publishers to reach out to them to request their product be considered. I could see them saying no to competing rulesets to avoid confusion (so no ToV or Level Up core material) but what about the rest of Kobold Presses material? Would they consider publishing Paizo's upcoming 5e conversion of the [I]Abomination Vaults[/I] AP or the [I]Kingmaker[/I] AP 5e material? At this point, we don't know and it would be good to know what their plans are as stewards of the D&D brand. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
