Those two, and the folks who mine adventures for thier own homebrew games, which is probably a bigger demo than the other two. That actually sounds rad. The PHB is the only one I’m worried about tbh, unless the DMG gets really good reviews. Makes sense, along with the whole obelisks thing. I’d love to murder Bhaal tbhThis, and alsoControversial take: Wotc wasn’t trying to do what everyone likes to claim with the OGL thing. The whole “kill all the 3pp” rhetoric is just rage, not actually reasonable analysis of what happened. They were trying to tighten up the IP protection of D&D and make sure that really big players couldn’t get the same benefit as small 3pp. The document that was leaked wasn’t final, and only the NDA was meant to be signed, and they started reworking the document upon getting negative feedback from 3pps. Then the community pushed again, and again, and in spite of no impact on overall sales numbers of any sign there would be any impact they completely capitulated and gave more than was being demanded of them. I think Kyle Brink’s press tour was about 80% truth, and the other 20% was professionalism (don’t throw your fellows under the bus, just apologize, explain what can be explained without any bus throwing, and talk about next steps) and spin, not lies.</blockquote>
