[QUOTE="SunGold, post: 6840109, member: 6801671"] If you're holding out for splatbooks or the like, sorry, man, but you're probably going to be disappointed. [url=http://www.polygon.com/features/2015/9/2/9242155/out-of-the-abyss-into-the-underdark]This interview[/url] with Chris Perkins is probably worth reading. It strongly suggested that those days are over: [COLOR="#0000CD"]"'We’ve gone from being product-focused to being story-focused,' Perkins told Polygon..." "D&D the role-playing game is not going away. It is the heart and soul of your business. But how you see it, the things we create for it, will be much more calculated, because we’re not going to put effort toward a product that’s only going to sell 10,000 or even 50,000 or even 100,000 copies if we can help it." "[Fifth edition] is not what a lot of old-school D&D players necessarily recognize, because they might still be thinking about D&D as it was in 1978, 1988, 1998 or even 2008 — a bunch of books on a shelf, a book a month of new class options, a new setting every year."[/color] [/QUOTE]
