[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8953789, member: 6802378"] DS has got too valuable a potential to be forgotten, but it needs a lot of work, not only about to design the update of the psionic powers, but also the special and unique look. My opinion is WotC is losing the right direction. It is not only this, but the troubles with the last Dragonlance novel, with the new "rules" and how this affected the plot, for example a classic "love potion" is not allowed in the modern fiction. My fear is their actions is not for launch a product adapted to the current sensibilities, but a surrender to the pressure of little pressure lobbies. That is not the original spirit of the game. Does Hasbro want D&D to be a family-friendly brand? OK, no problem, but shutting down any possible return of DS doesn't sound very sensible. I don't mind too much if the metaplot after the Pentad Prism is not continued. I don't worry too much because DS designed with a lot of limitations, not only about the classes and PC species, but also the space, the Tablelands were too "small" to be a "sandbox". What if I want to add new elements to the Tablelands? For example the psiforged, the shardminds, maenads, the elans, the dromites and the xephs, or classes as the crusader and the totemist shaman. Ravenloft was "redesigned" to be more "sandbox", and this allowed more creative freedom for the authors in DMGuild. Other point is if WotC allows the time-travel and parallel worlds in the D&D multiverse, then this could be the excuse to reboot all the settings. This could be the excuse to explain the new elements added, for example new classes and species. [/QUOTE]
