[QUOTE="CuRoi, post: 5624392, member: 98032"] Well, as someone that owns a bit of Hasbro stock (not much mind you, but it's part of the portfolio) I can look at the decreased printing schedule and say economics could have just as much to do with it as any sort of "winding down" of 4e. I don't play 4e, but I think all the talk of a 5e is probably a bit premature. As far as Mike Mearls ruminations on attributes and other design elements, it's not like he's the only one contemplating it (On my [URL="http://www.eyrurpg.com"]website[/URL] and in several posts here I've been pushing the idea of attributes replacing saves, AC, spell DCs, etc. for months...it seems to me a natural direction for the 4e rules.) I'm sure other people out there have home brew systems that do the same and Mearls is maybe just reflecting on the status of the community as opposed to any grand scheme. Bottom line, Hasbro bought Wizards because they had Magic, not because they have DnD. I imagine pitching some edition change, new ruleset and all the marketing costs that would go along with it is pretty far fetched. If DnD we're helping save Hasbro's board game/card game sales as much as Magic, then we might be having a different discussion. Either one of vastly increased production schedule or possibly about a new edition. [/QUOTE]
