Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 2460796" data-attributes="member: 426">I do not see the need for 4E at the present time.  I think 3.5 is working quite well. Mind you, I think there will eventually be a fourth edition.  I would hope that the developers at WotC are paying close attention to how people are using their products, as well as many of the great and innovative D20 products.  Also, I think it would perhaps be wise to assemble a team of the best developers well before any official move to produce a new edition.  Maybe just an informal meeting to find out what the best developers think of the current rules, and how they can be improved.  Similarly, I think that WotC would need to get a lot of feedback from gamers on the current rules and see what people are doing in their own games.So, possibly the 40th anniversary of Gen Con might be a good time for WotC to take a look at the rules, the state of the RPG industry, and its customers.  Of course, I think a lot of what I mentioned in the previous paragraph probably goes on under the radar.  (For example, I think EN World helps give developers a lot of feedback on their products and what is happening at the gaming table.)  Mind you, I hope to make Gen Con next year and in 2007.  So, I think there should be something special for the 40th anniversary of Gen Con.  If not an announcement of a date for Fourth Edition (preferrably not for a few years yet), then perhaps something fitting to the occassion.  (Okay, WotC developers, start thinking of something that will take everyone's breath away for Gen Con 2007 and dispel talk of 4E for a while. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> )</blockquote>
