[QUOTE="lkj, post: 7658245, member: 18646"] Well, to be fair, I have a grand total of two posts in this thread prior to this one, and one of those was just pointing to twitter info on the free download for the elemental evil line. So, I'm not sure it constitutes a 'series'. I do think I speculated a bit in another thread (in an additional post!) about ways they might find to support multiple campaign settings even though they clearly aren't going to publish a ton of printed material. Perhaps that is my series. At any rate, I quite agree with you. I think they've suggested pretty clearly (Mearls at any rate) that they haven't nailed down the best strategy yet and that they will likely try a few experiments. But I'd be very surprised if they hadn't brainstormed a few different approaches and selected the ones that seem the most promising. So, in that context, 'probably not what they are planning' was simply my way of saying, "here's one idea. My guess is that it's probably not one they will decide to pursue" I'm guessing taking their small staff and devoting their efforts to updating old material probably doesn't make business sense. I could be wrong, and they might find some clever way (crowd sourcing? licensing?) to do it. But probably not. I will admit I'm very curious (as a thought experiment) about how one might support (and encourage) many settings in 5e without having to publish numerous products for each setting. One way is to tap a plethora of existing material. Another might be to pursue an online strategy using the community or different licensees. I'm sure there are more. And I suspect the WotC folk have thought pretty hard about these various issues in the context of their business. And it's not impossible they decided that providing general light weight support in the core rulebooks combined with dndclassics is what makes the most sense. No idea really. Just curious. Anyway, time to stop rambling. Cheers, AD [/QUOTE]
