Things I believe I should be able to expect from a RPG publisher in 2018:

- understanding that reading happens increasingly on computer, tablets, chromebooks, phones… hence electronic format of the rules first or at equality with paper format (either a pdf on suitable page and font sizes or a reflowable format like epub), taking advantage of the format (hyperlinked table of content, hyperlinks in the content toward itself but also to external ressources like playlists, faq, cheat sheets, online generators…; notes; accessibility to screen readers / text-to-speech…)

- understanding that virtual gaming is a thing, hence including the useful assets: illustrations, maps, and every useful image as a seperate file at screen resolution (4k + needed zooms ?), online playlist, character sheets as shared, smart documents, cheat sheets as shared documents and as images. Integration into existing virtual tabletops (Roll20.net, Rolisteam, Maptools, Fantasy Grounds…) and reasonably long support.

Of course all this is a tremendous work. Projects' size change my expectations.
