[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5879039, member: 59506"] I believe you've nailed it on the head!:) Yeah, I think they're casting it as wide as possible also. We'll just have to wait and see once the open playtest starts (not the [I]public[/I] playtest, which is a different animal) whether or not that net covers each of us individually or not. If it doesn't, then we'll have our chance to really influence the design to try and get that net as wide as possible. I think those that are already saying at this point, that it's likely not for them, are making very poor assumptions. Perhaps they're just naturally glass-half-empty people (which seems a truly sad way to live IMO), or maybe they're just taking an opportunity the early stages of the process is granting, for them to rant in ways that usually aren't allowed here at ENWorld.:erm: I don't know for sure which it is, but I hope that once the game comes out, and those people have made their final decision (if they haven't already), that they'll just go away, have fun playing their game, and stop trying to rain on everybody else's parade. So far though, I like the direction the design team is heading. I like that 5E is not going to be [I]any[/I] previous edition, but a [I]new[/I] edition that can be [I]played[/I] as any previous edition. If it turns out as they've said, I see it as a Win-Win for everybody! If it doesn't, then I'll keep playing my game. Though I'll likely buy 5E anyways, just to be ready with a more universal edition if necessary, or to be ready to play with other groups. :cool: [/QUOTE]
