[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8939652, member: 6790260"] Prepare and release full, functional SRDs for every edition, especially 4e, under the CC-BY license. Review and (most likely) overhaul the entire playtesting process, getting [I]actual specialist[/I] consultants for the survey-design and statistical analysis. Continue the "One D&D" project, but ditch the stupid name, improve the implementation of 4e-like stuff translated into 5e contexts, [I]ADD NOVICE LEVELS[/I], and otherwise find a balance between preserving the stuff that makes 5e popular and regaining the stuff that made 4e a well-designed game. Oh, and for the love of God and all that is holy, [B][I]FIX CR[/I][/B]. Contact every amenable third-party publisher of meaningful size (much respect to one-man outfits, but contacting [I]everyone[/I] is just not feasible.) Find out what [I]they[/I] would want from a VTT service that would enable people to make use of their content. Prioritize support for 3PP before [I]literally any other concern[/I] once the core program [I]works[/I]. Once that's done, develop that VTT, preferably with both 2D and 3D graphics, audio, all the bells and whistles. Build it so that official implementations of every existing edition of D&D can be made (even if they aren't available at launch.) All 3PP people who want to have their stuff integrated can do so; users can either acquire unlock codes from 3PP vendors, or said vendors can set up subscription service as a modular feature. All CC content will be available for free, but only with a very basic VTT. If you want the light/line-of-sight stuff, the 3D, the sound effects and animations, etc., that's what a subscription is for--the free VTT would be very basic, but thoroughly tested and (intended to be) guaranteed to work.
