I was going to say. Looking at their website, however, it's pretty clear that this company is rather large (for a gaming concern), and is going to do it their way, and damn our opinion. I had considered this an option (talking to them or offering input) but discarded it as a viable idea for a number of reasons:
  • They have creative control
  • I don't like their 2d20 "cinematic" house system
  • We'd be effectively begging them to include our ideas to maintain our nostalgia
  • We don't know what the details are of the agreement between FFE/Miller/Modiphius
  • The smart play (as mentioned in another thread on v4) would've been to make the development process transparent, ala D&D NEXT, which led to v5 <-- this is a move we should seriously consider if we undertake our own development project: distro an early beta to all possible playtesters in our market and have them test it and send feedback early
