Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sir Whiskers" data-source="post: 955487" data-attributes="member: 6941">Flyspeck, as a customer, I would have to say the minimum standard is that I can use the product "out of the box", i.e., as is, which is the standard you mentioned. I see a difference between saying that a product can be used in either system, and a product which is designed for use  in either system. Virtually anything qualifies for the former, if the customer is willing to put in the effort. To qualify for any special designation, I would (as a customer) insist on "out of the box" functionality.Of course that raises the question, what can publishers do to sell the same product to customers, regardless of which version they use? I expect very few older products will be updated - for most products, it's just not good economics.  For those that are, I expect that the material will consist of little more than errata, or stat blocks, likely organized in a web enhancement of some sort.For new products, are publishers planning to design them for a specific version (most likely 3.5), and simply include guidelines for the customer to convert the product? If a publisher is designing a specific product for both systems, how are you doing so? I'd be interested in knowing what to expect as a customer. I realize that there are limits to what a publisher can do to bridge the systems with a single product - that's why I'm curious what the publishers who've already seen the 3.5 rules are planning to address this issue.</blockquote>
