The entire approach on "discussing" the game and "asking for feedback" is really just a way to ease in the new mechanics that are slated to come into market in a determined time period, to the core gamers that visit the WotC website. This way, they avoid blindsiding everyone with a new set of rules when they come out, like they did in the past. I'm not flaming WotC here, just saying that they have a plan and are carrying it out pretty much to the letter, IMO.What is the new mechanic? What is the format of the new game? I don't know. But it looks to me like they'll build on 4E and simply introduce option packages that will be usable by players to make the game they want. This will probably allow them to offer packages from which they boot stuff that they don't like (e.g. avoid overlapping powers) and of course offer packages with new stuff too.It seems like a good idea to me and if this is the way they're going, I'm pretty much looking forward to it since it shouldn't invalidate anything they did before, a bit like the introduction of Essentials. I like for the D&D game to offer new stuff.</blockquote>
