I feel like they DID a lot of good stuff, but there wasn't total buy-in or at least total understanding. Ironically some of the things that 5e wants to do are exactly what 4e needs, but I too find DDN unsatisfying. I can't get past the sort of hodge-podge stick another mechanic on it design, or the way now and then it will suddenly take a left turn and plunge into blatant AD&Disms that just seem out of place in a more modern FRPG. There's a game out there that is not exactly 4e, but is 4e as it could be, perfected. It SURE as heck IMHO isn't DDN. I mean they have a year left to work on that presumably, but its hard to see Mike and Co suddenly waking up and smelling my coffee. I think 4e's implementation of the whole d20 core system is about as slick as that is going to get, and I just LIKE the power system, it can do a lot of things and I suspect with the right treatment there's a game in there that can kick the ass of any FRPG out there.</blockquote>
