All we can say at the moment is that we've been in discussions with Wizards for quite some time about this subject. Nothing has been officially determined at this point. We'll definitely let everyone know once we have something concrete to share.

I'd say hold off until GenCon on this one. I am sorry to say but it is too early to begin worrying about doing something like next. WotC has changed so many things in this playtest with each iteration nothing is completely consistent, much less set in stone yet. Anything from those packets is still subject to change until they release books, which from what I've seen isn't happening anytime soon yet.

Rob is trying to work something out with wizards of the coast, but I honestly believe this close to GenCon any "negotiation" talks would be more likely to happen at the convention. GenCon is the big gaming convention of the year where representatives from all parts of the gaming industry gather each year. I say it's an uncertainty because nothing is really set in concrete with next. Mike Mearls could wake up tomorrow and decide to scrap something in next and replace it with something new. The skills system I know for a fact is undergoing extensive testing of various methods. From a data file authors perspective, I'd prefer to see something concrete before worrying about coding. It would be a waste of time to keep up with playtest materials. I would hold off until after GenCon as that is where Rob or another LWD representative would have the opportunity to talk with WOTC/Hasbro.

I really believe the wolf pack here knows how to make great character management software and I would love to see Hero Lab become the official software for next (Or D&D in general). I hope Hasbro learns from its mistakes. I really do.
