I already hear things about 5e that are confirming this. Don't get me wrong - I'm reserving judgment until I see at least a playtest version of the mechanics myself - but I've gone from hopeful to skeptical.I've been following this thread from the start, and at first, I was of the opinion that it was unnecessary and hopefully irrelevant. Now, I'm not so sure. If the talk out of WotC these days is any indication of the direction things are heading, then I'd be all about a 'p4thfinder' or OGL'd 4e.I just can't help but think they'd be really missing out on an opportunity to tweak and improve 4th edition by releasing an actual 4.5. I'd like to interpret Mearls' comment about the 4e tools not going away yet to read that they are actually going to do just that - and support both (or even ALL) architectures simultaneously. But I doubt it.</blockquote>
