Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercutio01" data-source="post: 5753310" data-attributes="member: 37277">I stumbled across some older posts of mine circa 2009 that discussed the fact that changes WotC made to the website effectively removed me as a customer, and I was accused of being hyperbolic (not in so many words, but that was the general intimation). It's interesting to me to look back now and see that it did exactly that. I was a fan of 4E, bought the core books immediately after release, and hyped the hell out of them, but the WotC model shifted away from me, which left me effectively out of the loop.So, yes, I'm ready for a 5E, but I'm more wary this time. I read through the Essentials stuff at a Barnes and Noble, closely examined the box sets, and decided that they weren't for me. I'm a fan of many of the changes that were made to create 4E, but moreso as a DM than a player. My ideal 5E would merge some elements of 4E and 3.5E, or else scrap both completely, look back what worked in all previous editions, and used that to construct a new system that captures all of those previous lessons learned.But all that is wishful thinking, to be honest. At this point, I'm looking smaller and more narrowly focused. My interests have shifted to indie-game design. I would probably buy 5E and look closely at it. I'm open to swinging back to the D&D brand, but as it stands now, it's unlikely.</blockquote>
