[QUOTE="SigmaOne, post: 7674343, member: 6748799"] 1: I agree; I'd love to know what the plan is. I'd love to hear more about what they're working on. Frankly, I don't see why you're waiting when you should just be enjoying yourself with the many other good options for entertainment, if 5e is currently not such an option. Either what you want comes, and you can worry about it then, or it doesn't and you haven't wasted your time. 2. What do you mean by "bring it back in full force"? What and when was full force? What do TV ads have to do with it, especially for a game three months from release? You really think there's no buzz for a game when numerous gaming news outlets, including some of the largest, such as IGN, give it "best in show" awards? I'm hearing the same voices that said 5e would be a big flop, because they didn't see what they wanted from the playtest... those voices were proved resoundingly incorrect with the release of 5e. [Edit: I want to rephrase that -- the voices I'm hearing now *sound* like those that claimed 5e would be a flop at the offset. And to be clear: it is not. The books provided are a complete game that will give many, many people years of entertainment, as others have already explained.] It might not have what you and your friends want at your table, but it's a very popular product. I think the same people who were wrong then are still wrong now, and that's why I don't trust the doom and gloom you're selling. I'm sorry you don't like what you see; like I said, I hope in the future you see more that you like from 5e, but if not, there's no reason for you to waste your time waiting for a horse to turn into a camel.
