[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8631187, member: 19857"] If that's the case they're making a huge mistake IMO. 5e is the most popular version of the game with casual players and that's the market they've tapped into that they have never had access to before. Pulling the rug out from under all of those folks and telling them "ok, all the books you own - you can't use them, you have to buy new ones" the way they did with 3.0->3.5 would be a giant gamble that they don't need to make given how the sales on the core books continue to be at record levels for them. They're killing the golden goose if they decide to make changes to the core rules (rather than to the presentation of those rules or limiting their changes to subclasses, which is where things look now) or sell a new edition of the game like they used to in the past. It could pay off for them, but it's just as likely to blow up in their faces. [/QUOTE]
