In reality they are probably trying to unite the 3e and 4e gamers (despite what has been stated), as the diehard oldskool gamers were never their customers to begin with. Even just looking at those two systems... I personally (and I may be alone in this) do not want to play a game that is 3e and 4e's love child. The two systems are just too different.  I think WotC would be better off continuing with 4e as well as reopening the 3e line. Perhaps even sell 1e, 2e, etc as PDF and POD. D&D players are divided, so sell each version of D&D instead of trying to sell one bizarro D&D that tries to please everybody. financially viable? Probably not... One D&D to unite the masses of D&D Gamers? I am a skeptic.edit: ok, so if they do pull it off it would have to be some sort of super-rules lite system that probably resembles a cleaned up version of OD&D or AD&D. From there the modularity could add the "4e style module" or the rules heavy "3e style module", 2e kits and proficiencies... whatever. Would they then try to do splat books by Module type or fit in each module type into every book? Cause if I and my group all all into the 3e style, then 2/3rds of the books are going to be complete rubbish... it would be like as if every splat book was the Minis Handbook from 3e (for those of you who missed that, the second half of that book was entirely devoted to crap for the D&D Minis game).</blockquote>
