[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9575245, member: 467"] A year ago, my answer would be "put out a new edition!" But given we just got shiny new core rulebooks, that would probably be a problem even in wish-fulfillment land. So barring that, I would broaden the possibilities within 5E 2024 and put out some genre focused books -- sci fi and urban fantasy for sure, with built in (and probably established legacy) settings. I would be inclined to crowd fun those, or at least do big pre-order events that drove interest and established a baseline for interest. Aside from that, though, if the pace of books and types of books was still working, i would not mess with it too much. On the brand side, I would push for an Eberron animated series with a similar sensibility to The Clone Wars series. I think Eberron is the setting best positioned to capture the coolness factor of D&D and I think a high quality, well made animated series would cement it for a generation. But for the longer term (because i feel confident that my contract would get extended) I would also run another Setting Search contest. I am still shocked that WotC has never done it again (and am super curious as to why) and barring some insidedr piece of info that reveals it to be a horrible thing, i would absolutely embrace the fun and marketing inherent in the contest. Finally, I would make some deals with Paizo and see if we couldn't get some official classic APs done up in 5E, and maybe even put out a joint project where they put the thing out for PF2 and WotC puts it out for 5E.
