[QUOTE="DaveMage, post: 5469595, member: 10447"] Well, actually, I don't think WotC will make the same marketing mistakes with 5E. That will likely go a long way towards a lack of anger. Near the bottom? Geez, I'm slacking.... Actually, I don't really think about it as much anymore - except when Mercurius starts a new thread. :) See, people mention this, but I don't remember as deep a schism once 3E came out. Heck, *I* was worried about 3E when it was first announced. (Especially staring at me extensive 2E collection.) But they won me over - especially by making it clear that all my 2E fluff was still very usable. (And it was - and still is in 3.5/Pathfinder!) Well, "5E hell" was a bit of a joke. Obviously we have no idea what it will look like, and frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if we never see it - at least, not from WotC. Also, as someone said elsewhere in the thread, I think that because of the differences between 3E & 4E, most 4E fans like new systems, and would probably embrace (or at least be open to) any changes.
