[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 9835768, member: 6802378"] Hasbro doesn't want to update DS to sell more sourcebooks but to use the IP for different types of products, mainly a future videogame style BG3. And it is the harderst to be updated because both crunch and fluff. The banning of classes and PC races is against the philosophy of 5e and the lore is not "family-friendly" for 5e standards. My theory is the crunch will be updated, the lore partially retconected to justify the "new" class options and mainly the unlocking in DM Guild. I suspect now WotC is more like a IP farm. We can't know what is their roadmap for 2026 because not even they don't it when they are hiring new staff. If there is a future DS then there are an update of psionic powers but this also should mean a new UA playtesting for the psionic PC species: elans, maenads, xephs, dromites, synads, shardminds and fraals, and also original PC species like the mulzhennedar(muls), tari(ratfolk) or Athasian genasi(ember, magma, sand and sun). * I don't like the idea of zones around the region of Tyr couldn't be playable for low-level PCs. And I can't explain the reason because if there are +20level nPCs theses and Sorcerer Kings didn't face in the past. * What if there is life-shaping or biopunk tech to can purify water or to create food without arcane magic? This could allow the fundation of secret underground realms that could hide to survive the cleasing war. [/QUOTE]
