[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4846337, member: 22424"] I don't see this happening. If 4e is an ongoing success, I expect 5e to end up being much the same. If (as I frankly expect) D&D goes through a period of long and slow decline *, I expect 5e to have a very strong "back to basics" vibe to it. * My saying this has nothing to do with the quality of 4e. It's a reflection of the generational cycle of D&D. We've had two 'peak years', with a decline between them each time. If the cycle holds, we're currently in the declining part of the cycle. These are all very reasonable. In the event that all of the above comes to pass as described, I'll continue playing a legacy 3.5 or Pathfinder game as long as I am able to find players. Or move to another system entirely - Warhammer, or Star Wars Saga (or its successor), or something else entirely. The current direction of D&D doesn't interest me, and a new edition that is a further big step in that direction won't interest me either. I don't [i]hate[/i] 4e, but it's not for me. [/QUOTE]
