Do you want/are you ready for a D&D 5th edition?

[ShinHakkaider]

So to suggest that people that switched did so out of "blind loyalty" to either WotC or the D&D brand, is pretty damned far from the mark.

But it's as far from the mark as much as it is you implying that NO ONE switched out of pure brand loyalty because we know that that's not true. There are people who are blindly going to follow WOTC / D&D no matter what they do.

There have been people here on this board during the switch to 4E who have pretty much said this. So no it's not far from the mark at all.

Now is that the consensus of the majority of 4E players who knows? But I can tell you that there are some folks here that are pretty dedicated to 4E and in their eyes WOTC and the 4E designers and D&D can do no wrong.

There are a few such. The numbers are tiny compared to 4E fans acused of being that for no good reason. So I can tell you that there are some folks here that are pretty dedicated to this idea of a mass of 4E fanboys running rampant.

I need to make a spoof video of some of the comments here. GOLD! I'm just ready to play any game. As long as my buddies are around the table, we'll sort through the rest.

What will you be playing at the DDXP in a month?

Based on the response to Mearls's Legends & Lore articles, there are some folks here that in their eyes WotC and the 4e Designers shot their dog.

I voted yes, because I'd be ready for a 5e. Unfortunately, I'd be very surprised if they came up with 5e and it was anything like what I'm hoping for. Maybe PF2 has a slightly better chance of being it, but even there I'm not holding my breath.

Wait! They were the ones that shot Rex?!

I'll kill them!

I'm having a great time running AD&D right now... but sure, I'm ready to check out 5e. Why not? Perhaps there will be some inventive stuff in the next iteration.

Yes, mostly because since switching back to 3.5 I've really missed the excitement of buying a new book. It's been a long long time since I've actually bought a new book.

The post I was responding to, he made a generalization about anyone playing 4e. I pointed out that that was not universally the case. I could just as easily say that PF fans followed Paizo out of blind loyalty to 3.5, or out of anti-WotC spite, and some probably did, but I'm not here to judge. And I know it's not universally true. It is also not all that helpful to point it out - doesn't accomplish anything.

Fair enough, but I can tell you that doesn't cover the majority of the 4e folks I've met here, IRL, or gamed with in any capacity.

This.

And this.
