[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 5915993, member: 4550"] In short, no. It's a game. We don't need D&D5E like we need sustainable energy or cures for cancer. Obviously, people who play D&D in some form now will continue to play, with or without a new edition, and will continue to teach their kids and their friends, with or without a new edition. With that said: I [i]want[/i] a 5e, and think it would be good not only for the hobby in general, (and good for WotC financially), but also for me personally. Why: I want to play D&D with my friends, first and foremost. I want my friends to play in the same game with me in a style that they can easily pick up and enjoy. I want a ruleset that I can easily DM without ruining the enjoyment of the players, a ruleset that is mechanically balanced and rewarding, a ruleset that is open to and envourages roleplaying and interaction. 3e and 4e has added a lot to the game, in terms of mechanics and in terms of balance. But they've created a steeper learning curve and now everything takes longer to resolve. I would like to see the "good parts" of each edition incorporated into D&DNext, then be able to roll up characters in 10 minutes and play a balanced and fun game of D&D. [/QUOTE]
