I think you're right about WotC not doing much more than the system. They had a few good adventures and a touch of setting material for forgotten realms, eberron and quite a bit for living grehawk. That was about it. I think the reason why everyone keeps bringing up the 3pps is that THEY...

Excellent job reviewing. You, sir, are very knowledgeable about minis.

So, as <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention -->@Truename <!-- END TEMPLATE: dbtech_usertag_mention -->aptly pointed out... THE GAME will be (if they meet their goals) able to provide a 1e through 4e experience (depending on what the DM/group seeks), and each player will be able to mod...

Miracles, IMO, are both rare and powerful. I wonder if a mechanic (perhaps a ritual, with a small chance of failure) that allowed one or two uses per day of a spell more powerful than the most powerful spell of a wizard of the same level as the cleric would work. Apart from that, the...

I'm not able to meet your request myself, but I applaud the idea. If you're not able to find an individual, I'd be willing to speak on a podcast about the importance of inclusion of gay (and minority) individuals in roleplaying games (especially adventures and settings...and in a...

I'm talking about keeping: Raise Dead Vancian Casting Classes Races Hit Points Multiple die shapes (d4 through d20) Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Humans as playable races Conversely, might it be a good guide to, if only one edition had something (unless a really great idea or very mundane), it...

A few things, here: 1. It isn't perfect, and choice is too broad, especially for 3e Druids, Clerics, etc (who have unlimited spell lists-I miss the old "spheres", and would prefer clerics get an "all" school and a number of domains). 2. Most people unintentionally skip the hard parts of...

I'd like to see a picture of a dragon with boobs. Not a dragonborn...a dragon...majestically flying through the sky, boobs flapping in the wind.

I do. I liked it. The adventures were good. They got even better, and more extreme with Paizo. They turned into whole campaigns, aka "adventure paths". That's a nice resource and it sells a system if people wanna play that within the system.

VERY true. While that may be enough, I'm thinking that if it were backwards compatible, that'd be even better. However, if they're to do only what you're suggesting, I'd be surprised if they didn't at least (themselves) convert a few very classic adventures (like some or all of Dungeon's...

I can use my 3e, 3.5, and Pathfinder books together pretty easily. I switched to Pathfinder because of this (I have a TON of old books and want new books I buy to be usable with them). If 5e allows me to use my 3e books easily (or 4e books if I want to play that style of D&D instead) then it...

I wanted to add that what I'm suggesting above is a bigger, and more difficult task than what they might be doing... If they are doing effectively that, but keeping it all "within 5e" via its modularity, I think it'd be quite a bit easier. We wouldn't be able to autoconvert prior edition...

I had written something similar in this thread back in June: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/307836-what-if-instead-5e-addition.html But I'll refine it now that we know a bit more. How could the Mike Mearls articles and the modular style of 5e actually resolve edition...

My excitement for 5e comes with the hope that it will end the edition treadmill. If it is truly modular, and it can support all prior editions, perhaps it can become more of an evergreen product, and perhaps it may open up production lines for WotC for prior editions again as well.

I seem to remember a thread a while back... 4e isn't D&D versus 4e isn't D&D to me. #1 was deemed unacceptable to say. #2 was deemed acceptable. Seems to me that the qualifier was very important there. I think there might be a parallel here as well.

I dislike(d) it, especially for clerics. When I started playing, it was because my friends were playing D&D and invited me to the game...so I said sure. I've always been interested in magic, so caster it was. Never thought clerics made sense: "Oh most holy of holies, please heal this wounded...

Most of the women I've played D&D with have been fantastic. I was just remembering the history of WotC trying to bring in more women (because the game was being disproportionately played by males).

I am an armchair quarterback, and I've got a few good ideas... ...but I have favorite designers, designers I trust to provide actually good advice (much better than my own). I would love if the design team at WotC would seek the advice of third party publishers and freelancers to hopefully...

Which makes me think that 82% of us are either 12 and younger (unlikely a large yahoo searching group for D&D) or 18 and older. (Or, I guess, females aged 13-17, which I don't expect to be a large group).

The relationship between Wizards and Paizo is reportedly quite good. The relationship between Wizards fans and Paizo fans is not quite as good.
