[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5802279, member: 996"] That is a great argument for continuing to have 4e and Pathfinder continue along as they were. 5e's goal, while laudible in noble sentiment, is not practical. I'm not the hopeful type. ;( Rationally, I look at the rhetoric coming from WotC, it's ostensible fans and critics, and the realities of the OGL vs GSL and the market, and I have to expect that 5e will be catering to your thing, not mine. And that 4e, which comes closer to 'my thing' will be actively supressed by WotC (at some point, it's on-line-only tool suite will be shut down and the GSL lets WotC block any 3pps from supporting or cloning 4e the way Paizo did 3.5) to bring 4e hold-outs on board with 5e. I'd like to see the history and previous designs remembered, yes. But in the sense of learning from the mistakes of the past rather than repeating them for the sake of nostalgia and inertia.
