[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9738715, member: 18"] Both of your points are why I'm eager to see more of their work outside a WotC context and when they're working "closer to the metal" as it were (as opposed to being in charge of others). With Crawford, whilst Sage Advice kind of ummm, wasn't a great look, I'm not sure it's ever been a great look for anyone nor, perhaps, could be (I dread to think what insane mechanical opinion I'd show the world were I doing Sage Advice!), and some of his other design work is clearly excellent for the era (like the original Blue Rose, which was amazing for 2005 imho). I want to see what they can actually do. Kinda hoping I'll be impressed. One thing 5E managed better than almost any other game in 2014 was to be pretty balanced (between classes at least, not so much subclasses/races), which was highly unusual at the time (and particularly for D&D - 4E was more balanced than 3E, but that's not a high bar!).
