[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8218507, member: 58197"] Reviewing Wyatt's work... he's done a lot of stuff on D&D going back to 2001, but his largest contributions were in the 4E era. He was part of the core development team that created 4E, and played a big role in the sweeping overhaul of D&D lore that produced the World Axis cosmology (among other things). I had mixed feelings about 4E mechanically, but there were a number of things it did well that I wish 5E did a little better. And on the lore front, I consider 4E to be an unqualified success--ironic, given that one of the knocks against 4E was how it disconnected lore from mechanics! They created this amazing evocative world (far better than the Great Wheel IMO), and then they put it into a system that held it at arm's length and treated it as disposable flavor text. I'd love to see all that 4E lore revived and given a 5E treatment, perhaps as a stand-alone setting book. That probably isn't what Wyatt is working on, but if it is, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
