[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7996484, member: 22779"] Do we actually know that the 3e Psionics books sold well? Or, is that another gut feeling? Again, [USER=23751]@Maxperson[/USER], I'd point out that 4th place is kinda damning with faint praise. Wouldn't you do whatever is in 1st place first? I dunno, seems like a better idea to me. "Almost as popular as this other thing" is a pretty tough sell. And, yup, Psionics got treatments early in virtually every edition. Yet, despite that, psionics has never really cracked the niche egg. Sure, Dark Sun, ok, fair enough. But, again, no serious adventure features. Outside of Dark Sun, it's barely mentioned in settings. And, here, we have a poll saying that it's not really much of a feature at the majority of tables (can I say that without being taken to task?). Look, I honestly do hope you all get what you want. I really do. It's no skin off my nose if you do. Cool. Great. But, I do think that it's not really reasonable to be expecting it any time soon. My prediction is 2002 at the absolute earliest, and, really, probably 2003 before you're going to get psionic rules for 5e. [/QUOTE]
