Message: <blockquote data-quote="UngainlyTitan" data-source="post: 5085847" data-attributes="member: 28487">There is really nothing of note in the interview regarding 5e but I question wether there will be a 5e.4e is a living rules set via the compendium and the incremental rules releases and there will now be another strand of rules releases via the essentials line.As it stands, the essentials like is supposed to introduce alternative class builds for existing classes and they seem to have settled on a pretty clean separation between crunch and fluff books. There are near infintie number of location books (like the underdark, plane below and so forth). If they want to they could reintroduce all the old planes in that way as locations in the Astral Sea, the Elemental Chaos and the Abyss and so forth. They have only barely begun to look at alternate ways to do powers like the psionic classes and all this is before bringing in power creep.In fact the only reason I could see for bringing in a new edition would be to fundamentally change the maths, in particular the power curve and I really do not see them doing this unless it is clear that the current edition is a spent force sales wise. I think that with the essecials like they are making a fairly determined attempt to grow the market, probably initially to old lapsed gamers but I expect that those older gamers coming back in via the new red box will be DMing for their kids initially but I would also expect a new initiative may be next year to reach out to gamers that do not currently play TTRPGs. Even if there is not, it will take a couple of years to tell if current efforts are bearing any fruit.</blockquote>
