[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 5940512, member: 18333"] To me, most of the suggestions to alter or add to the base system are interesting, and they all should be considered ways to modify the basic. The basic should be dead simple. One problem we may be having is that some people assume that the launch materials will only include basic. Others assume that the basic edition will also be launched with some mods already suggested within it. I would like the latter to be true so that at the very least we can play both Theater of the Mind combat, and a more tactical grid based combat so groups can mix and match. For more advanced DMs and Players, they want the mods at launch. For beginners, they may not. WotC needs to make both available with the launch to entice the entire D&D playing community to "buy into" D&DNext. If they don't have both basic and mods available at launch many groups will continue to play their old games. [/QUOTE]
