Having read the L&L article I must say Mr Cook seems to be improving with his writing of these and I'm also liking the direction they seems to be going with it.

What about rules for DM-less and or soloplay? Should they be included as well?

While I thank you for your time there is no need to answer. :) My question was directed more toward what would be my opinion of a fun game and not toward entitlement in said game. Further discussion would only lead us further down the rabbit hole of off topics and into the realm of arguing...

So what happens if you don't win the conflict, can't you run away? Or is not winning also not possible?

I found myself showing less interest in Wizards of the Coast and their products when I found that 4th Edition was not really a fit for me. I now find myself show more (much more if truth be told) interest in them the more I learn about 5th Edition. They have no more obligation to make products...

What do I think Wizards learn from Essentials? That a band-aid was not going to be enough.

Is a new Edition/Iteration of D&D is really necessary? Yes, yes it is.

Nothing I read coming out of D&D XP has done anything to cool my ardor. In a matter of fact it has had the opposite effect. I look forward wholeheartedly to the next D&D.

Kinda like 1e but with more cheesecake art and saving throws that make sense.

Perfect.

No they need to go.

This sounds like a game played back in the day.

I hope minis are optional as well.

I have found in my games that NPC cohorts and henchmen are useful to the party to perhaps fill out skills or abilities that they my lack. As a DM I find them useful as a source of plot hooks and complications. Savage Worlds handles this very well in an elegant manner that would benefit a...

I find retraining rules an unnecessary complication.

I think D&D 5th should steal from Savage Worlds in this matter.

For me it all boils down to that in a fight anyone can swing a weapon of some type (no matter how in ineffectually) but everyone can't cast a spell. In a melee all characters should have the Puncher's Chance but magic should remain well magical. But that's just my opinion.

What one thing I think could be improved from all previous editions..... Better support for one player and one player plus DM play.

I'm not sure what will happen but I do think this is a make or break moment for the brand.

If it were up to me they would lean heavily on the 1st edition AD&D DMG. I would rather peruse a tome than analyze a appliance manual. I'm sure there is something to be said for clear written instructions, but I never could learn a game without see it in play so what do I know anyway.
