You will be able to port many of the parts of the game into your D&D game, but it's also designed to be stand alone...It seems like they're sort of trying the idea of D&D "flavors."I wonder if they could do something like D&D "Oldschool?" like redo character/race creation to be like Fighting Man, and Elf, and such, make character creation truly random and fast, and somewhat fragile... but using the basic 4e rules to play the game.I think they could do all sorts of different styles of D&D, that we could mix and match as we saw fit.I think it would also cut down on the need to release a new edition, since the material wouldn't just be more of the same...  Would also give us less to argue about which is the one true D&D play style. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />I don't know- ust something I was thinking about this morning.</blockquote>
