If WotC accomplishes the improbable and manages to make the online subscription model work for a pen and paper RPG, maybe with a paid online tabletop, then it could last a while.More likely, at a certain point the sales for 5E will begin to drop off and the inevitable next edition will come out. But maybe we are all too cynical (I think we are about cynical enough).EDIT: I forgot to say that I think it's entirely possible, if 5E doesn't meet whatever fiscal targets Hasbro has set for it, that 5E is the last iteration of D&D Hasbro puts out for a good long while. Whether they sell off the property or simply shelve it for some other time I have no way to predict.</blockquote>
