[QUOTE="Starfox, post: 9576131, member: 2303"] In the interview, Meals referred to 5E24 as 5.5. I wonder if that's what they called it internally? Externally they have avoided that name like the plague, and even Next got changed. They are really aiming at name continuity. Someone (sorry I am not rewinding and am bad at remembering names) asked about our personal opinions. My personal feeling about the OGL debacle was that people were over-reacting, but I no longer remember why I thought so. That companies stopped making 3rd party products and are instead making their own games is a bad thing in my book, it splits the market. When I look at people trying to publish "their own D&D" it rarely fits my tastes anyway. I actually like most of the new things in 5E24, but I have been dissatisfied with 5E14 to the point that t has turned me off 5E24. I still follow the news on Youtube, but I'm not adopting the game. Then again, I was slow to adopt 5E14, so I may pick up 5E24 in the future. I do like that WotC had to eat some humble pie. Right now I want to try a game that doesn't treat combat as its own mini-game. A friend showed me Blades in the Dark, and I am making a D&D-esque fantasy hack of that to make another arc in my ongoing Greyhawk campaign. [/QUOTE]
