[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5751799, member: 98255"] I'm fully aware of that, just as there are a lot of folks that felt that way about 3.0, and ever 2nd edition, but we both know that won't stop it from happening. Exactly. :) Here's how I look at it - splitting the market may be bad for their business model, and it's bad for generating a bunch of pointless arguments between gamers about The One True Way, but, and here's the best part - it's good for gaming. More games means more choices, and to me, that can never be a bad thing. Say they do put out 5e, and it ends up being something that neither you nor I like. That's fine - we both have systems we're happy with - but someone will like it, and it will be their favourite. Someone will start playing because of it, and someone will use it to introduce others into the hobby. That can't be a bad thing. Some will argue that it would 'be a bad example' to start someone out on, but really, the people who say that fail to realize that so might the version(s) that they would choose, so it's a foolish argument that smacks of being a True Scotsman. I could get behind that :) I just want to point out that because of your avatar, I always picture you AS Professor Snape. It's pretty funny to imagine myself having that conversation, even virtually. ;) [/QUOTE]
