[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6559082, member: 7006"] The only thing I think the game will "need" by the time that fourth year rolls around are e-book versions. I suspect that in this time that e-books will begin to really incorporate graphics and pictures into their e-books, and when that happens, e-books and their respective tablets/e-readers will become even more the standard to society on the whole and the D&D game manuals will need to follow suit. We'll see a much larger cross-section of people with tablets at the game table (or any table for that matter), and having the manuals available in there will almost be a requirement. I seriously don't believe they "need" anything else. Do I think they'll give us additional stuff in the next four years anyway? Absolutely. We'll see probably another 6 to 8 adventure path hardcovers/softcovers over the next four years (with additional minor player material to support them), probably one or two more Monster Manuals, and a host of material contributed to the game from other game companies (either through the actual OGL, or just released as their own entities because they know *wink wink* that WotC and the D&D department will turn a blind eye to them when they do.) I really think this is going to be the era of "The game is the game. It's really fun. Just play it." And they aren't going to bury those 3 core books under a mountain of other crap. Then again... that's just my opinion... I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
