That hasn't prevented the development of several new versions of D&D.My impression of the public playtest has been that there were some reasonably constant ideas as to the general direction, but the specifics mostly consisted of a lot of "throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks". Now that they've gone through that process and found out what concepts and ideas have traction with their customers, they'll be modifying their basic design to incorporate those ideas.</blockquote>
