I had this exchange in another thread but it got me thinking -
- maybe I am off base and 5E can be as simple as a 4E rewrite with bits and pieces from other editions to flavor it. So I ask as a poll in a simple up/down vote, regardless of the details which you can post if you like. No bashing, no warring, please.
If we're changing the system (. . .)
I think the assumption is that it will be a whole new system with Frankensteining from many. I think they'd be crazy to try and trot out a 4E rewrite with some add-ins and optionals for making it quasi-feel like other editions. That'd more than likely be a non-starter for anyone who stayed away from 4E and half of the 4E fans would be pissed that a rewritten 4E was making their game books "obsolete" while the other half wouldn't switch. (Cue outcry of those who claim game books are never obsolete as they ignore what that means in context and how edition cycles work ) Naw, I don't think they have room to peddle a rewritten 4E given what they announced and how the community is currently divided. Maybe this warrants a poll.
