[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7536366, member: 6716779"] Did you miss the part I think 5E will be a 10 year edition give or take a year (9-11). And I could be completely wrong on that number but yeah its gonna be a long edition relative to the other WoTC editions, miht even go 11 or 12 years. I would almost bet 6E will arrive eventually and would bet money on that being 2024 +/- 1 year. That is not a flop, I just don't put much stock in claims about a D&D movie or game being a smash hit just because it has the name D&D on it. The franchise just isn't that big. Can it happen sure, but you will need a kick ass story that can cross over into the mainstream. If every active D&D player rushes out and buys a ticket that what $100 million, $150 million. Nice number but not exactly a smash hit as far as movies go (unless the film was an indie one with a shoe string budget). Movies are also creeping up past the $300 million dollar mark to make/market etc. Same thing with a D&D game, most of the new ones seem to suck. And the ones that exist have next to sod all to do with the 5E mechanics. 5E did triple the size of the market but to put it in perspective it was the low point of the RPG market, there had been no D&D in print for 2 years and D&D has more or less always made up a huge % of the market. So yeah context matters. [/QUOTE]
