I would like to see psionics handled more like they were in 2e. I felt that 3e psionics were just wizard spells with a spell point mechanic and a slightly different flavor.

The list pretty much summarizes what I want to see. I especially would like to see rules for fear and madness to help me run a Ravenloft game. However, I hope that they would be handled well. I've seen too may poorly written sanity rules.

A lot of speculation and rumors have been going around on account of the those who have received a copy of the MM at GenCon. But, I'm curious about what we can expect to see in the completed DMG. I've heard that we will see alternatives to Vancian spell casting as well as write ups for the...

I want to see some of the old setting brought back - Greyhawk, Ravenloft, Planescape, Spelljammer. I wouldn't mind seeing new rules for settings (e.g. Warforged and Artificers for Eberron), but I don't want to see the market inundated with books offering new class and races just for the sake of...

After the Monster Manual and the Dungeon Master's Guide WotC hasn't dropped any hints on what is to come next. I'm personally hoping that 5e will focus on settings and deluxe adventures. I wouldn't mind seeing a few optional rule books (eg psionics), but for the most part I sincerely hope the...

I too love the new halfling art. One problem that I had with the way halflings were depicted in 3rd and 4th editions was the fact that they were essentially miniature humans. Without some other race standing next to them to give a sense of scale, you couldn't tell that they were halflings.

I've had that kind of problem every time I've tried to run a Planescape game. Inevitably at least one of the players wants to make a character from the real-world Earth. I always have a problem with such characters because the players want to play up their characters' naiveté and make constant...

Pretty much the same as they did in 4th edition: a dragon-like head and a scaly hide, but no wings, tails, or other obvious draconic features.

I'm sure that they'll eventually be some splatbooks. WotC is going to want to make money of 5th edition after all. I just hope that the volume of splat books doesn't approach the sheer volume of 2e and the end of the 3.5 days.

Back in the day I had invested quite a bit in 3.0 stuff and was quite miffed when 3.5 came out less than 3 years later. I took a look at the rules and decided that they felt way too much like a set of house rules tacked onto the game, so I continued to play 3.0.

I'm a little disappointed that the Tiefling is apparently the "devil-looking guy with big horns and a tail" that we saw in 4e rather than the mostly human with a taint of infernal blood that was made popular with Planescape. I can't really say about the statistics, but if the picture is any...

I'm interested in how the Dragonborn and Tieflings will be handled. I've always like the Tieflings in the Planescape setting - a race with a trace of fiendish ancestry. On the other hand, I didn't care as much for the 4e Tieflings. Maybe, it's because the Planescape Tieflings had varied...

I haven't used the Forgotten Realms since 2nd Edition, so I really don't follow all the changes that happened in setting. However, I remember hearing that the Spellplague of 4th Edition altered the continents somewhat through flooding and earthquakes. Will the 5th edition Forgotten Realms...

Perhaps my nerd rage was a little quick and my comment came off as a blind putdown rather than the sardonic prediction it was intended. I did read the the Legends and Lore column, but I'm really cynical when I hear 'living game', and I find it hard to believe that we won't see new books every...

I've been really excited about 5e for sometime, but I'm very skeptical about the idea of a 'living' rules set. I'm fine with errata and fixing typos, but do we need major rule changes anytime someone complains about a rule? Also, does this mean that my books will be outdated every six months...

Wait...the heavy crossbow is 18lb? That seems awfully heavy to me. That's over twice the weight of most rifles. Does anyone know anything about medieval weaponry? Is that weight realistic?

I hope that 5e art makes the Dragonborn actually look like, you know, dragons. With the lack of wings and horns, I honestly felt that the the 4e art made Dragonborn look like Yuan-ti or perhaps Lizardfolk.

I'm wondering about 5e's take on the Forgotten Realms setting. Will they keep all the baggage that has accumulated with each edition change (including the controversial Spellplague and Sundering) or will they go back to the basics and tell players to have the Realms as they like and ignore...

I may be in the minority here, but I never liked the 4e Dragonborn. (Of course, I didn't like the 3e Dragonborn much either.) Maybe it's the artwork in the 4e books, but I always thought that the Dragonborn looked more like giant lizard men or snake men. If there's a draconic player race that...

So now it's confirmed that the 5e PhB will contain Tieflings and Dragonborn. This has got me wondering what type of Tieflings and Dragonborn will be used. Until the advent of 4e, the Tieflings were described as characters that had fiendish ancestry in their bloodlines. I think the...
