[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5806140, member: 7883"] They can't restore or diminish my faith, since there is no product. Aside from a select group of players who are bound by NDA, we have no real information. Just hints. Not enough to make a decision on. WotC did a lot of damage to my respect for them with 4E. 5E will either leave me with Pathfinder, and realizing the game is continuing to move in a direction I'm not interested in, or it'll evolve into something that gets me excited about playing again. Given that the people trying it all seem to be bound by NDA, I'm not really believing the whole idea that they're doing things differently this time. Paizo openly made the evolving rules available for view at different points during the development process. WotC still doesn't seem to be doing this, so I frankly don't believe them that they've learned their lesson. The only thing that's giving me any faith is that Monte Cook is involved, and I tend to like a lot of what he does. The last 3 years have been the first time I've gone without playing D&D (as supported by TSR then WotC) since....1986 or 87, when I first started playing. Calling players like us "other company's customers" is rather disingeneous. WotC came out with an edition many of us didn't like, and we voted with our wallets. Why should we feel that, to be D&D fans we have to buy an edition of the game that we don't like? We're still D&D fans. That hasn't changed. I think that WotC has realized something went wrong with their last edition, and they're trying to fix it. Banshee [/QUOTE]
