Sounds like you missed the point I was trying to make, DC.
Besides...it's fun to speculate about a possible 5th Edition, whether it ever happens or not. Right?
Is it time for 5E?

I'm sorry, but it's really not. At least not for me. I personally wish it would wait and things would slow down until an actual 5e is confirmed. Let 4e be established for a few years. Let the good folks at WotC iron the rough edges out of 4e before even considering a 5e.
Personally I'm happy with 3.5 e. My personal favorite will always be 1e, but I do believe 3.5e is a far superior rules set because of how it streamlined things.

Not for a lot of peoiple. And how many topics here on Enworld get such a careful look and frequent outright bans as 5E?

And lo, a book was published, called the Rules Compendium.
And some saw the Compendium and dismayed, but they were few.
Across the land, they did not heed this sign.
And the seal was opened, and they were amazed.
And they cried out, but their prayers went unanswered.
And there was great wailing, and hoarding of books.
For forty days and forty nights, the world was dark, and without a publication schedule.
And on the dawn of the first day after the fortieth night, the sun was as red as blood, and stood suspended in the sky. It did not move.
The new edition was upon them.

So *that's* what ails 4e - they released it 2 years before they started working on it!
Or did you mean to say 5e?

They need at least one rule-variant in any later product, just like set defense scores from Star Wars Saga Edition and Tome of Battle-maneuvers were for 4th edition.
So far, I haven't seen anything in Essentials that is that "revolutionary" or "evolutionary" apart from regular 4th edition. It would need to be something like a new method to calculate your d20-roll or even replace it with something like, I don't know, 3d6 or something like that, do away with hit points and somehow integrate it into defense scores, make psionics the new beginning standard or anything in that line.
Just having more nostalgia-orientated character builds won't be enough for the WotC-spin doctors to sell a new edition, just like they tried with 4th edition. They need more beef for that.

I agree. There is nothing that even vaguely looks like 5E around. It is ssimply too early in 4E's life cycle. Now a revised 4E could be around, certianly. That is easy to do.
Talk of a new edition seems to be a stick certain types like to beat the current edition with. Including WOTC, based on 3E and 4E.
