[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 7663721, member: 957"] So don't use strawmen. Bad use of the term doesn't mean correct use does not exist. And pointing at bad use of the term doesn't excuse using straw men. You quote me saying that in the same reply. Clearly you read it before you clicked "submit". But that aside, when did I at any point say anything to justify you emotionally charged "eating disorder" claims? You should have known what I meant if you were paying attention and being thoughtful instead of knee-jerk reactionary. But at best you simply had no idea. Funny how you dropped "modern market" from the conversation in a hurry. And funny how you don't count all the continuations of basic. And funny how you ignore that Basic was being crushed in market presence by the flooded (to the point of oversaturation) alternative of AD&D. First, I've heard the "I'm done" from a lot of people before. We saw 5E in less than 6 years from 4e. Why are you not done already? That said, I don't know if a 5E drop would bring on 6E or just push D&D into a few years of dormancy. So I can't predict much on that. But I can predict that if the 5E release schedule stays aligned with the currently publicized rate, the market presence will have shrunk very notably in far less than 6 years. (And I think that the release schedule part of that will change quickly before we get there) Agreed that this is a different topic. But, ultimately, if they don't go up to some level of minimal "splat" type support, it will hurt the market presence (by which I mean how many people are playing) of the game. [/QUOTE]
