    D&D 5E Rogue Hit Dice

    Because they are squishy. They are not meant to be fighters. If you do not want to be squishy then do not play one. Fighters are there for non-squishyness.

    D&D 5E Rogue Hit Dice

    d4 is totally appropriate. Great post.

    D&D 5E Rogue Hit Dice

    Rogues should stay at d6, at the most. They are not front line combatants. Giving them d8 is too MMOish.

    30 years for what?

    Same as your's bro. Except I can bench press more than you. So I win!

    30 years for what?

    4th ed revitalized me because it was so new and different (and addressed my problems with 3rd ed) Meh! I 've been playing since 79 AND 4TH EDITION IS WHAT TURNED ME OFF! 4th was terrible and I am really glad it got canned. I have hope that 5E will actually be a good change of pace and that WOTC...

    D&D 5E I want D&D Next to be a new edition, not just an improved version of Edition X

    -1. 4E needs to stay in 4E. Don't mix it with D&DN.

    Aasimar and Tiefling should be Themes or templates, not races

    4E's failure was a symptom of its inherent wrongness and the miscalculation of its designers of doing market research on who butters their bread. 4E's failure is a symptom of a successful market place where customers vote with their wallet. 4E's failure is a testament to capitalism.

    Morrus on... Races

    You are spot on in your assessment. The more that I see of what 5E and what it will be the less enthusiastic am about it. My initial giddiness has worn thin and now I really could not care less about what it actually ends up like. I am finally going to get off the edition treadmill. 5E seems to...

    D&D 5E Will there be a 5e Modern?

    I think its probable that there will be; Gygax intended for AD&D to eventually be a multi-genre rules set. I also remember that in the 5E announcement that the designers mentioned a universal set of rules that could be used for any play style. If the rules can handle the various D&D play styles...

    D&D 5E 5E: Bringing Groups Back Together?

    I hope 5E can do this but there are a lot of bridges that need to be built for it to do so. I wish WOTC good luck in this endeavor.

    New edition coming? Cool? Not rounding out 4th's core set? Not cool.

    Welcome to the world of WOTC. They love to piss off their present and past customer bases. Give it 10 years they may come around to you guys again. The even editions are the ones that have almost killed the game. So 4th had to die a deservedly awesome death.

    How do you feel about the future of D&D after the official announcements?

    I picked positive. I will give WOTC one more chance,even though they tried to kick us older gamers to the curb. I find the angst and nerd rage emanating from the 4E crowd delicious. 5E will look nothing like 4E guaranteed. I look forward to all the 4E crowd having to deal with what those of us...
