[QUOTE="Ezequielramone, post: 6290763, member: 6762048"] This is just a [B]feel[/B]: I believe the core books will bring a lot of money to WotC. I think that, [I][B]in general[/B][/I], people in Pathfinder will stick in Pathfinder and people in 4e will stick in 4e, there may be few people going for one edition to other, but not enough to count. And sinse there are many people playing 4e, so there will be playing 5e/Next. I see the history repeating here. There are people who will play both games, or even more editions, if they have the time. I will talk about what I know, and I don't know if this comparison is valid... but anyway... Pathfinder [B]reinvent itself[/B] with every hardbook (or almost every)... APG introduce archetypes and cut off Pathfinder from D&D 3.5 (IMO, I'm not saying that is absoluty this way), Ultimate Magic and Combat are a little twist, ARG is a huge tool, ultimate campaign is not a super tool but it's useful... and so on. But I haven't see those things in D&D, their products are just a bunch of feats, items, deities and classes and don't give me the feeling of rebirth. There are excellent books, of course, I have A LOT of 3rd ed. book, but "it cost more books" to give me the same feeling. And, sadly, books are payed with hours of my life and hard work. I [B]guess [/B]that happend again in 4e, even with less number of products. And some says they ruined Forgotten Realms. I believe that now there are mayor decisions that are over the game itself that will define the future of D&D. Like price, online support, format of the lines of products, settings to develop, marketing, quality of the products (no white spaces, one monster per page, etc, durability of the books). Edit: And I voted "[I]Not enough information to speculate".[/I] [/QUOTE]
