[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2462512, member: 22779"] Well, we know pretty much for sure that 4e won't be hitting next year. When 3.5 came out, we had a year of warning beforehand. 2007? Not likely. Too much being released in 2006. 08 or 09? Now that's probably possible. But, again, unless there are some REALLY major changes, such as there was between 2e and 3e, I can't see it having the impact that 3e did. 3e and now 3.5 is fairly well done. They've certainly patched and spackled most of the holes that existed. Really, I think what you might see is more books like the Special Edition PHB. Rereleases of core books including errata and new formats. Much cheaper to develop and probably far better on the bottom line than trying to create an entirely new edition. Sure, you don't get the older players to buy the new books, but, then again, older players buy the supplements. To get new players to become old players, shiny new packaging works fairly well.
