[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9677407, member: 59816"] Yeah, I've been selling D&D books since 2e as a retailer - they don't ever stop putting out books even when they've got new rules on the way! IDK, I wouldn't put it past a job posting to consider -every- upcoming book to be "game design" even if it's a repolished setting book, or an adventure, or whatever they're likely to publish going forward. Yeah, but you can (and should) create a version of the rules for video games that has nothing but a passing resemblance to the table top rules. They are, as I'm sure you'll agree, totally different animals. Trying to make them look the same is foolish. (Larian came as close as anyone is ever likely to succeed). You have a good point, here. I mostly agree with you. The main objection I have is against the idea that 2024 is any kind of disappointment to WotC, and the overall concept of "6e is on the way!" - which is very popular here on the boards, so much so that it's gotten to the point that I scoff whenever I see it, and probably will until the day that it's an actual announcement! I feel that [I]that[/I] has more to do with Hasbro trying to get away with not paying as much as they may have done for the previous titles, but I suppose that the salaries mentioned are not particularly insignificant (at least not compared to the previous job offers), so who knows? I doubt that Hasbro is unhappy with the job that Crawford & Perkins did, but again - I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
