[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7529457, member: 5142"] I personally find this difficult to believe. The idea that there will not be any major changes to D&D in the future just because it is presently riding high in popularity seems somewhat short-sighted. It's inevitable. Popularity and tastes of the game will change. Many of the edition changes in D&D often represent these changes of tastes and game design philosophies. Personally, I know from my own track record in this hobby that I would and will lose prolonged interest in D&D without those rule upheavals. It undeniably kept my interest fresh and renewed my sense of experiencing the game anew. It's why I jumped from 3 to 3.5e. It's why I jumped from 3.5e to both Pathfinder and 4e. It's why I jumped from PF/4e to 5e. I don't think that I would likely come back if it's just "LotR D&D." I will need more than lipstick on a pig. In contrast, I can pick up Catan. I don't need an update. I can play it for a quick game one day. Put it back on my shelf. And then I will return to it later when enough people want to play it. D&D doesn't really work the same way for me. Sure, it will sit on my shelf, and I may play a few other TTRP games before returning back to it, but the sort of issues that I have when engaging the play experience of D&D is different than my expectations when I engage Catan for play purposes.
