Some of which won't be purely because WotC is making the game (but might be interested if Green Ronin, Paizo, or even White Wolf made the same product).They've got their work cut out for them, but if they can't find something to appeal to old editions, 3e-ish, or 4e-ish... they'll lose around 1/3 of their customers right at the opening cut. Possibly 2/3.Certainly, no one gains anything by being edition warry about it. That's precisely what they're trying to address. The fact that people even feel a need to edition war, when it's just all D&D.</blockquote>
