And my little plan is still progressing, faster than I would admit since I'm writing my campaign setting without operating capital.<br /><br />I don't like the subscription based model at all. If 5th edition is going to be mostly subscription based I'm not going to buy it at all since it only proves one thing. Publishers are dead scared of the Internet.Eltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111706553184455710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2329289809056681372.post-28211603287627618322009-11-24T13:26:43.132-07:002009-11-24T13:26:43.132-07:00Assuming that book sales have dropped off - and we...Assuming that book sales have dropped off - and we've no way to say whether they have or not thanks to WoTC/Hasbro's notoriously tight lips when it comes to actual sales figures - then that's likely to be for many reasons, not least the rising popularity of D&D Insider. <br /><br />I think moreso than dropping the OGL this is the change that is the early death knell of D&D books. I wouldn't be surprised for the next edition of D&D to become an all subscription model after the first batch of Core Books as released with subscriber-only content becoming the norm.<br /><br />Will it be a better way of getting your D&D? We'll see. Right now, I think it's an inevitable change that we'll just have to accept if we want to keep playing the latest edition of the game.greywulfhttp://blog.microlite20.netnoreply@blogger.com
