Hells Yes!
I voted totally positive.
I saw comments above to the effect that 5E can never satisfy Hasbro, and thus D&D will get mothballed. I hadn't thought of that. Pretty grim. But then I got in on Transformers at the ground level way back when, and whilst Hasbro benched that IP from time time, I can't really claim that Transformers faded away as a pop-concept over almost 30 years.
WOTC-current-DnD is dead to me anyway. Not in a mean, 'you're the worst friend ever' way, but in a a "I miss you, why'd you have to go so soon?" kind of way. I tried 4E. Intellectually really admired a couple of things they'd done with it too - but couldn\t stand the experience of actually playing it. Got bored reading the books in fact (contrast AD&D, 3.X, PF). That was probably a bad sign right there.
SO, I agree that that claim that it can be all thnigs to all people is untenable. I don't agree that WOTC acutally made that claim, more "there is a 'heart' of D&D and 5E will have that, and probably use mechinics from previous editions that we know worked" but still, they have made themselves a big target.
Personally, the absolute worst that can happen is that I want to play the ciurrent edition of D&D.
- Rassilon.
[PS: The media tell me that a huge number of my D&D playing homies really like 4E. I winced real hard on your behalf, on account you've had 2(ish) systems in three years, and now WOTC says she's gonna go steady with someone else already. I got nothing against WOTC no more, but if you need numbers to take the walls, I'll help out.]
