[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7460413, member: 15700"] A slower release schedule certainly is extending the lifespan of 5e. Hard to believe it's been 6 years now since the first playtest came out. And from what I can tell, 5e is still going strong and isn't wavering or starting to decline. AD&D was out from 79 (when all 3 books were available) to 1989. Will 5e make it to 2024, 10 years after official release? Certainly looks like it. We'd typically hear talk about 6e 2 years before official release, so when we hear about that, that will give us a clue. Kind of odd to think that in this day and age where turnover is faster for pretty much everything (instant information sharing), that 5e could be the longest running edition. AD&D is my favorite edition, but I'd have to say if that happens, then 5e would have to be considered the best edition of D&D from a more objective standpoint. It seems like yesterday when we were playing playtest material in 2012. Another 6 years from now doesn't seem that far away. Heck, The Big Lebowski came out 20 years ago.... [/QUOTE]
