Positive. New edition means new online arguing means new fun.
Because asians can't draw fantasy landscapes, right?
Seriously, if they get the right studio, this might be the only thing I'm actually looking forward from the new edition.
Still, I'm skeptical on the project. I'll give it a try once it's out to see how it goes.
Definitely positive. It's not going to be easy doing all they want to do, but the goal is worthwhile. I think the next edition will be significantly simpler at its core, and that may very well be a good thing. I personally like the complexity of 4E, but not everybody does. In the end, good design goals for me are balanced classes, cooperation among players and easy prep for the DM. How they go accomplishing that I don't particularly care.
