[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 8731731, member: 467"] Obviously we can't assume our discussions here are representative. I spend only a little time on reddit and none on twitter, so I don't know what the attitudes are there, but it seems to me that encouraging rampant speculation is a bad thing. I wonder if they will just tell people straight out what 2024 is going to look like, sooner rather than later. If this is a minor revision -- something more along the lines of the black border 2E reprint -- it would be good to know that going ahead. Fears of too big a change might cool book sales for the next 2 years, and if 2024 really is about future growth, it shouldn't matter if current players give it a pass until they need to release their books. The real question, i think, is what is it going to look like relative to Beyond. Does Beyond become [I]necessary[/I] with the new "edition"? I have no conception of how many people are using Beyond compared to how many buy books and what the crossover is between those two groups. What percentage of people that play D&D only buy via Beyond, versus only buy paper? What percentage play on a VTT? Which ones? Those all seem much more relevant questions than whether the ranger gets another crappy redesign, or whether gnomes finally get excised from the multiverse. [/QUOTE]
