Message: <blockquote data-quote="Son of the Serpent" data-source="post: 7804442" data-attributes="member: 7015476">Id use the 5 years to set wotc for a massive surge during the 10 years to follow.Year 1:A:Launch team for analyzing parts of all editions best enjoyed and what editions playstyles and concepts could best be lumped together to create multiple different editions at the same time for vastly disparate player groups.  This way instead of catering to everyone wotc's new standard can eventually become catering to everyone in a way they can opt into the right system and sensibilities for them or the one that focuses doesnt focus or focuses just enough on the majority of things they care/dont care to focus on (some people really dont care about politics for instance.  And you would definitely find a correlation between that type of player and the type of game they best enjoy).  This can pertain to playstyle, rule density, myth density, political sensibilities or lack thereof, and many many other things similar or vastly different.B:Launch teams for everything older than 2e to clean up rules and streamline just a tiny bit so that the structure can be kept generally the same with obvious improvements made sparingly so that adventures best played in this general structure will be able to start being advanced again and revisited in the style of play they are best suited for.  As well as adding new adventures settings classes feats and spell books.C:Attempt to curry more favor with online magazines resembling what dungeon and dragon mag used to resemble to increase likelyhood of 3rd parties bolstering creative process without having to spend so much money.  Stop threatening people so much with the fiends of copywright.D: continue advancing 5e same way its goingYear 2:A:Continue as before but expand analysis as per B's new inclusions.B:Same as 1B but launch teams for same task in concern with all three 2e and 3/3.5e to be analyzed by a similar dedicated joint team.C:Same as C1D:Same3:A:SameB:Same but with 5e content that has been out a whileC:SameD:Same4:Alpha:A-D:SameBeta:Work on beginning to make 3 different simulataneous release editions called the 6th edition triplet releases or 6et.  Analyze which countries would best enjoy which of each.  Market accordingly but plan for eventual digital and purchaseable print releases of all three in all countries of reasonable market viability with resources spread accordingly to demand.The triplets will nit be completely just the prior editions clumped together.  They will be sibling editions that have had aspects of d&d which play best according to research put together.5:Continue advancing all parts discussed prior and start alpha testing triplets with intention that for the next couple years that would likely continue if you have forced wotc this far because at that point they would have to continue so they could get something back out of it.  Too deep to pull out.  I assume 5 years after i lost this 5 year control either wotc will have sold to a different company (and maybe the ip's would be even more publically accessable if were lucky enough to have that silver lining) or will have a transformation no one ever thought possible (in a good way)Afterthought:Publish joke pamphlet online about how pun pun created a 0th layer of baator for foolish dm's who allowed cheese to get way too far out of hand after getting the creators permission.  Letting him pen it if he wants.  I dont know.  shrug</blockquote>
