[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 5772660, member: 55966"] I'm going to start using "5mind" to refer to boosters of 5th edition. It fits in perfectly with the design goals of 5th edition (to be all things to all people) and WotC/Hasbro is a corporate entity who seeks consume the player base of other RPG's. Like Henry says though, it isn't as denigrating as 3etard or 4oron, and it has a menacing borg-esque quality. It is something that can be used by both detractors (because you are going along with WotC's plans to resell D&D to you) and for boosters (because all your players will belong to us). As for my feelings about a new edition... it is a little soon but I'm as disatisfied with 4e as I was with 3e when I dropped it. So both Pathfinder and 4e are not really options for me going forward. I pretty much have an idea of how I want my D&D system to look, and if D&D 5th edition allows me to do that reasonably well I'll go along with it. I must mirror my skepticism of most of the posters on this thread that their design goal is even possible. However, I certainly will have a huge reservoir goodwill towards the project simply because it is about the most ambitious design goal ever attempted in table top gaming. I like to reward ambition. I also think that having the playtesting be open is an excellent idea in terms of gaining even more goodwill from the fanbase. However, open playtesting isn't going to ensure necessarily that you will get the best rules. For example, crit confirmation rolls survived 3e into Pathfinder. To take something wonderful that only happens 5% of the time, and then immediately take it away 30%-50% of the time is just evil. [/QUOTE]
