[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5355866, member: 61155"] Yeah, absolutely! I didn't mean to try and push you into a corner - I focused on that one sentence because that was the part I disagreed with, in the end, and that's why I kept coming back to it! Moving on from here is perfectly fine by me. :) I think you are right that it is hard to say anything for sure. I would find it very unlikely to be seeing 5R within two years, but I do expect to see the D&D line continue to evolve and reinvent itself. To experiment, if nothing else.
