If 5e fails (in terms of Hasborg - e.g. not making $5 million in the first week), they will abandon it. Then the license will be sold to a small, but creative group of people who will try to bring back D&D to its former glory with the emphasis on playability and setting and not money making.

At least, I think/hope so.

The second bit will never happen. The first bit, as long as D&D isn't running at a loss they'll probably let it continue.

Well, it happened to ASL. With the difference that Hasborg not even considered doing ASL by themselves. The license has been bought by a huge fan with too much money (Curt Schilling - US Baseball fans might know him) and ASL is alive and well. And MMP (his company) really publishes only high quality stuff. I'd wish for D&D a similar destiny.

MMP has products out of print for 2-5 years at a time, on average.

They also have a considerable amount of the line unavailable at any one time. Right now, 11 of the 35 products they offer are either "out of stock" or "out of print", including things that would be considered "core" to many.

It's great that they keep the game alive.

Huh. Well, I guess we can hope. Any D&D fans with copious amounts of cash who would consider it worthwhile buying just the brand name when the system is already open source?

Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs is a fan
