[QUOTE="Cybit, post: 6293116, member: 66111"] FWIW; I'm almost certain they do not need 3 - 4 months lead time. (Based on...things I can't exactly talk about). That said, I would be surprised if they make GenCon 2014. I think they are taking the Blizzard approach of "it's done when it is done". As for @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=37579"]Jester Canuck[/URL][/U][/B][/I] - I know we've gone back and forth our share on these boards, and I have had a blast with NEXT so far. But I do think your previous experiences have colored your future expectations & interpretations of WotC's actions and statements. While 4E most certainly earned much of its' scorn and issues; do remember that this is the same company that also put out 3E/3.5E (and by extension, did most of the work for Pathfinder). A single data point is not a trend, nor is it any basis for causation. Mind you, as someone who had to DM constantly, I'm a much bigger fan of 4E over 3E, but I love how Pathfinder has done organized play, and their other products have made me a large fan of Paizo and PF. Both games are good games, and appeal to different subsets of the overall TRPG market for the most part. I get why you're cynical. But it does seem rather off to assume said cynicism is valid and then build off the assumption that the cynical view is a guaranteed fact on to more assumptions. You very well might be right about WotC repeating the mistakes of the past (WHY CR, WHY DID YOU BRING CR BACK!). But before the books actually come out, I do not see the value in letting said cynicism drive the car. [/QUOTE]
