[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 7683291, member: 8461"] Anyone else hearing this thread title in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld? :lol: That said, while there are doubtlessly financial reasons guiding WotC's hand with regards to their translation policy for 5E, I think that it's a poor choice for the community to leave so much of the non-English-speaking TTRPG world without access to the game, particularly since they seemed to have such a robust set of translations going on for previous editions. Personally, the fact that WotC allowed for a fan-made Japanese translation of the Basic 5E PDF strikes me as a bad sign. I see that as a tacit admission that they have no particular plan in place for translations; that it was a "eh, we're not going to do it and it costs us nothing, so why not let 'em post it?" reaction.
