[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 5689845, member: 92239"] Opinion: It takes a regular group of dedicated players between 2 and 3 years if played by the book to go from level 1 to level 30. That countdown begins the moment the game is released. So if anyone says it's not time for a new edition or significant rules change by year 3; they're wrong in the case of the people who are playing the way the game is built to be played (note I did not say "meant" or "should" just built.. there's no dictating there :) ) Of course the average player of the game is casual so it takes a lot longer to get through a campaign if ever, or the games played start at a certain level and are done at a different rate, but the point is the largest number of players are casual so if you put a new edition out 3-4 years after the last, it seems odd; especially considering the 10 year cycle we got with 2nd ed. End of the day expect a new edition or rollout every 3 years. The fact that Monte's back in the fold is a HUGE thing for me as his interpretation of D&D 3e was the reason I started playing again. If Monte is working with Mearls to me that's gamer nerdvana as 4e is a great step in a good direction for the game in terms of making combat fun and balancing things out (in my opinion). As for Paizo, WoTC, Hasbro - I could give two quarters for all I care about the corporate banners. All companies suck somewhere and at something. I agree with those who have said - work together and stop publishing competing games from the same source mats. Good luck [/QUOTE]
