Or new content to be more precise. They are platforms for content. Nothing wrong with that, it just isn't a new class, a new monster, details on the sundering or a new setting. Those are content. Wow. Ok. Now I understand. First, you do not have to write the stuff to know what is coming out. That is especially true when you manage the whole brand. As for the quote here it is. Basically he is saying that splat and campaign books outside of the stories (APs) are going to be a rarety (if we see any) . The PHB 2 is used as an example of splat. Complete Divine could have been used instead. Saying that he won't surprised if stand alone books are made, seems to indicate nothing is in the works or planned so far. I do not know if you read a lot of interviews done by WotC folks, but a lot of what they say is subtext. This interview is the clearest so far and just confirms what a lot of people have understood from previous interviews. Like that the FR are for a long period of time the default setting of D&D.WotC is going to make 1 or 2 APs a year (do you agree disagree so far?) and it will support that AP with its partners who will make minis, video games that share story elements, comics books, DM screens, etc (do you agree disagree?). That is it. Did yo uunderstand a FR campaign setting or gazetteris in the works? A splatbook? A Manual of the Planes, psionics or a MM2? Please share if you read that. All I saw was stories stories, stories. No more books just for books. Heck, from his comment about just releasing 1 AP a year because people are starting to make their hoem game, we might not see another book until next year.  Nothing else has been announced for this year aside from Sword Coast Legends. And that is not PnP RPG content.Evidence? Like the negatives reviews of Hoard of the Dragon Queen got on ENworld's review section? Like the people saying they do not buy APs and want splat or campaign settings? This thread is evidence. But this sounds like setting up a barre that cannot be met. Except Paizo released more stuff after 10 months. PF was being supported. I'm not being fatalistic, I'm being realistic. We get the brand manager saying we'll see one or two stories set in the FR a year and not much else in terms of RPG content. It is pretty clear.News articles aren't content for D&D. Liking 5e now doesn't mean you won't get tired of it after a year or two because it became repetitive because of lack of new content. A lot of people have said they bought and played 4e until it just was repetitive. Then they moved on. This time it is a different paradigm at play. It is less about the mechanics and more about the support of the game. If you refuse to see that in the interview the guy that manages the brand is saying that they won't release content for the RPG aside than APs and some web articles, I can really help you. If I were the only one reading this, you might have a point, but the concensus is pretty clear when you read the other posts. Could we be wrong? Sure, but when you add the other interviews, the picture is pretty clear. Whether just one or two AP a year is a good thing, that might be up to debate, but that is not what you arguing, sadly. To switch editions there needs to be an incentive bigger than newness. Something new becomes old fast these days. Support keeps it fresh.</blockquote>
