Very interesting!



Can't really watch the video right now, as I'm ENWorlding at work (heh), but the vibe I'm getting off the summary is that we won't be seeing any campaign setting books this year or next year. I was never 100% convinced we would, but I figured it was a good contender for a potential late 2015 release. Now I'm wondering if campaign setting content will be limited to the adventure path books, or if we're going to see campaign setting "spotlight" articles online as well.



The "not interested in releasing books for the sake of releasing books anymore" line is what's most interesting to me, though. Pretty much tracks with what I've been saying all along - they're not interested in book sales per se anymore, or in competing with Paizo in the pen-and-paper sales arena. The paradigm's shifted to the amount of groups playing, and I suspect they have data saying most groups don't really buy all that much beyond the core books. With the Big Three having been released they're investing less resources into the tabletop game and more into tie-ins like Sword Coast Legends and the Elemental Evil board game, where they're more likely to see the kinds of returns they're looking for.
