Green Ronin updates us on its 2012 plans, Mike Mearls talks D&D 5th Edition, and a couple of community resource updates.Game Informer has an interview with WotC's Mike Mearls: "Players can pick their own style and complexity within a class. Think of it kind of like having a $10 budget to spend on lunch.... DMs have a similar process they can go through, adding optional rules to flesh out their campaigns. Those options can range from creating a unique list of races or classes for a setting, to adding in special rules for things like managing a kingdom or waging a war. Mike also says that their shortlist for D&D's core elements include "the six abilities, classes, levels, hit points, Armor Class, and a few other things". Check out the full interview for more!
