And going from D&D Beyond to Project Sigil, the virtual tabletop, How will this early beta be regarded? How will it fare as we prepare toward a final release? Is this something that Wizards of the Coast is putting all their chips in on? Or is it something that they were going to but have decided not to? Or is it something that they're going to ramp up even?

Yeah, how will third party games, both third parties making other role playing games or third parties making 5E compatible content affect things? Will games like the Cosmere role playing game or Shadow Dark or Draw Steel, how will those games impact the hobby? Will it bring new players in? Or will it just siphon off players who are already in the hobby into these little silos?

As I said earlier, will actual plays as a form of entertainment continue to appeal to people? Or will we go then back to a more, I want to engage with this hobby rather than watch other people engage with this hobby?
