[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8135990, member: 6779196"] I’d love a 6e. I’ve been kinda over 5e for a good few years now - even though I would still call it my favorite edition overall, I’ve taken to hacking the Dickens out of it to make it more interesting. It’s solidly designed, but very safe, and I want to see them try something a bit bolder. Hopefully the explosion of new players 5e brought in has given the confidence to do that with 6e. 5e [I]had[/I] to be safe because it needed to win back the old school fan base. Since it incedentally brought in a brand new fanbase that dwarfs the old one, I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to grill up some sacred burgers soon. But I’m also doubtful that Hazbro is keen on changing the base ruleset while 5e is still selling like hot cakes. After the recent comments by Crawford about a several year plan to update the way race is handled in D&D, first of all I don’t expect a 6e before this plan is carried through to fruition, unless something goes horribly wrong in the meantime. But, at this point I think the idea of some kind of updated or special edition re-release of the core books with some of these changes that have been presented as optional rules incorporated into the base rules is looking more likely than ever. And if [I]that[/I] does well, I think it will be a strong indication of what direction an eventual 6e might move in. [/QUOTE]
