[QUOTE="Shasarak, post: 7687978, member: 94143"] Ok, come on there is more then one thing going on here. Yes, we know that certain highly placed members of the DnD Design team have spoken about some kind of license for DnD, but they are not able to do it solely within the DnD team. Obviously there is legal involved and who knows what other Managerial types that need to have their say as well. The truth is that we are heading into almost a year and a half after release with no sign of anything yet. No one is holding their breath waiting for anything at this point. If you are going to publish then you have published already and if you are not then you are doing your own thing. Obviously you can not have any schmitt hitting the windmill over the cancellation of the Elemental Evil player's guide because you can not cancel products that you never ever announced. And the conversion guide was affected by long term jury duty, so who could have seen that coming? As for the confusion with "out sourcing", well how can anyone be expected to know what the current terminology corporate is using for "hiring a lot of freelancers to create your product for you". No need to get defensive about a common practice used in the industry, is there? Heh, I remember when WotC used to be able to announce their release schedule a year in advance and actually stick to it but it is only fair in this new fast moving time to wait until the last possible moment to announce your product. After all if you were a true DnD "fan" then you would either be too busy playing in the current story line to even have time to worry about what is coming next or trying to adjust your home brew world setting to get as much juicy Sword Coasty goodness in there as possible.
