[QUOTE="Evenglare, post: 6024488, member: 63245"] See I don't really know if that's why 4th edition stopped. I'm not saying it wasnt because of sails but it doesnt seem to me that way. I dont KNOW the sales of 4th edition, but it seems to me a case of ADD, where you want to show off this new thing you had made before completeing an edition. (DMG 3 ANYONE !?) It's just frusterating to have to buy a COMPLETELY new game every time because wizards can't commit to something. Every other RPG i have personally experienced , when they started talking about new editions (GURPS or Savage worlds for example) they do minor rules tweaks , so you can still use all of your old material with a very tiny amount of conversion. They don't chance the core structure of a game unlike wizards where you pretty much have to relearn everything. Sure you may be familiar with SOME aspects, but the agme is still fundamentally different and that's what pisses me off. Especially since all of this stuff they are promising is essentially what they were promising with 4th edition. (They want to fix the rules and exploits.) It's the exact asme thing they are saying this time and I'm tired of it honstly . You know 5th edition may be fantastic or not, either way STICK WITH YOUR CONVICTIONS DAMNIT . If it's the last incarnation for D&D keep it that way ! I'm tired of buying the latest rule system to run my campaign in . (I'm aware that I don't HAVE to use it, but honestly people like new and shiny things. [/QUOTE]
