    D&D 5E (2014) How will the playtest of D&D next go at XP?

    I thought as much and since ENWorld as an entity wouldn't be bound to one at any rate, all it would have taken would be for another member of the ENWorld staff to post news and whatnot. Besides, this all assumes that WotC wouldn't appreciate the free publicity anyway. I again reiterate that...

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the playtest of D&D next go at XP?

    And it has since its inception, so I doubt there's any worry on that score. If something gets leaked these days, it essentially becomes fair game.

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the playtest of D&D next go at XP?

    Beats me. I sorta think of it like the NYT publishing the Pentagon Papers.

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the playtest of D&D next go at XP?

    As long as the information gets out, I guess it ultimately doesn't matter to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the playtest of D&D next go at XP?

    This. I can't for the life of me believe that WotC seriously expects that information to remain private, so it seems pretty silly to even bother with the NDAs. I would say it was a publicity stunt, except they don't seem to be taking that angle.

    Attacks of Opportunity

    They've always struck me as an attempt to model reality (hello, grappling rules) in a game that doesn't try to model reality (hello, hit points). In my Pathfinder game, we've ditched them as they are too cumbersome to be fun.

    AD&D 1E My clever theory: why 1e AD&D is being reprinted

    I think it gets the attention of the old school crowd. WotC alread has the attention of the 3.x/4e folks.

    Should point buy be discouraged?

    I missed the part where rolling and point buy statistically give the same spread of stats?

    D&D 4E Is PF combat any faster than 4e?

    If you plan on using a laptop at the game table for Pathfinder, mosey over to Combat Manager and download CM - it's free (donationware) and you won't be disappointed.

    Should point buy be discouraged?

    Default = baseline. A baseline is used for adventure/monster design.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5EGL] Open Licensed Settings: Dragonstar, Ptolus, Scarred Lands, etc?

    I'd love to see some of those return as updates, but looking at the economics, I don't think it feasible. After all, there's a reason why they aren't in print now. Or at least, actively supported.

    What's the best that Monte Cook and Mearls have done so far?

    I'd say that producing any published RPG content is more credibility than the OP, so I think /thread.

    D&D 5E (2014) "The next iteration of D&D is a game on its own"

    It's clearly a substantial pillar of revenue, much as Paizo's own subscription service is. As you say, however, we don't know the verifiable numbers and thus our speculation is thus, although not completely blind.

    Which edition will have the largest representation in the 5th rules?

    Flawed premise - that one edition has to have more of a representation than other editions. Especially given that without definition, "representation" is meaningless a term in this context.

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    I don't disagree.

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    Not without tinkering with 3.x, IMO. I mean, that 3.x release would have to be 10 times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres to sway Pathfinder players into playing 3.5 again. All of the Pathfinder/4e talk aside, let's not forget that there is a sizeable number of 3.5 players who...

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    Certainly plausible, although I wouldn't expect to see any such dip until much, much, much closer to 5e launch.

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    This, exactly this. In an ideal case for WotC, D&DN when released is able to satisfy the separate groups - and this includes Pathfinder players. Worst case, nothing really changes. But then, what happens for WotC if they don't try. Nothing.

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    No, 4e wasn't released under the OGL, with a viable SRD.

    Pathfinder 1E is a big Pathfinder surge on the way?

    Somewhat, in my experience. In my area, the people I know playing Pathfinder either moved straight from 3.5 or from 3.5 to 4e to Pathfinder. I have no doubt that Pathfinder is able to get new players (as 3.x did and as 4e does), but I'm not seeing an overwhelming amount of new gamers (who are...
