[QUOTE="cyderak, post: 5779879, member: 16003"] Put me down for Negative......... 5th edition D&D is just Wizards of the Coast in panic-mode in light of Paizo's SMASH HIT Pathfinder RPG blowing D&D out of the water in sales the last couple of months. Leaving D&D 5th edition up to the players is one of the most historically stupid marketing moves they could have made. Mostly because of the fact that the 4th edition players are the most aware of the move being that their edition of D&D is being shelved. So they will be the players giving the most feedback. Thus making 5th edition probably a 4th edition clone. [B][U]If you want to re-boot D&D, my advice is:[/U][/B] ** Take a little of what Paizo did with pathfinder rules-wise.(Meaning the minor tweaks to 3rd edition to make it cool.) ** Stick with traditional core races. (Maybe releasing variant races later on in secondary rules books.) **REWIND THE WORLD HISTORY BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE FAST FOWARDING OF TIME KILLED OFF ALL THE COOL ICONIC CHARACTERS!!! **Commission awesome RPG artists to give the game and D&D world a fresh look.
