NOTE: I am NOT saying this is going to happen. I am just curious about what people think COULD happen, not will happen. If you want to fight about the premise, make a different thread, please.
Let's say, as a hypothetical, WotC chose to drastically change the design direction of 1D&D in the fallout of the OGL debacle. What does that look like? What sort of design paradigm could WotC use to still "be D&D" and create a line of continuity with 5E, but be different enough to stand on its own?
Let's try and keep this discussion civil and focused on potentially realistic design choices for a hypothetical 6E.
