[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 5638491, member: 11760"] That would be a task for someone smarter than me. Didn't Mearls say, though, that he didn't think having them all work together in the same game was unnecessary? That said, if all the options were "priced" similarly, it theoretically should be possible to balance them against one another. But I definitely think that'd be hard to pull off. If they didn't think they were cutting their wrists by just sticking with 4E, I don't think we would have had this steady trickle/flow of "all versions of *D&D are *D&D" from them over the past few months. And what if they supported each line the way they've supported each setting in 4E? Maybe the Vancian magic gets a few modules and monster books that feature that content, but it's siloed in its own line; and the 4E powers system gets its own modules and monster books as well; but the "core" stuff just features adventures and monsters that don't use any power system available to players, and it thus works without having to own anything but the core books.
