I think we can safely say that 5E is a success, but will it lead to a new Golden Era?

[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 6358024, member: 10447"] I think 5E will be a success, but a golden era? Nah. Those days are gone. The most impressive thing to me about 5E is that I think every D&D player - regardless of favorite edition - will be able to recognize this as a game they can play, just from playing that other edition. Granted, we haven't seen all the books yet, but as I've said elsewhere, this edition looks like a great link between BECMI/1E/2E and 3.xE/4E. Indeed, it seems like what 3rd edition should have been (a more natural progression from 2E than 3E was). I remember something mearls posted after 4E was released which I think gives this edition so much better appeal. He said he read all the reviews after 4E released. Both positive and negative. It's likely he made mental (if not actual) notes during that time about what worked and what appealed to people (and what didn't). I don't know how 5E will roll out (from a product pace), but hopefully they will be able to hold to a lighter release schedule and not just make 5E yet another bump on the WotC 3-to-5-year edition treadmill.
