[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 5762531, member: 10479"] Oh, and I agree with those that believe that what we will see might not be officially titled 5E but rather be something on the order of a 40th anniversary game that attempts to incorporate traditional D&D sensibilities more closely into a game with more modern RPG game mechanics, and will possibly try and move the artwork into some blend of old and new as well. Timing this with June 2013 or Gen Con of that year, on the virtual eve of the fortieth year of D&D, makes a lot of sense. Some have suggested names like Ultimate D&D but I think just calling it Dungeons & Dragons with no addendum or prefix makes more sense. There would be no confusion in the marketplace regarding it and the 1974 edition. I think it's detractors and even some who feel the need to distinguish it from previous versions will call it 5E and that those who are more vehement about it's perceived marginalization will use this as provocation for edition warring. And the cycle will continue. [/QUOTE]
