[QUOTE="Cybit, post: 5896295, member: 66111"] He's working on Geek Seekers right now. I hope to catch some of the developers at the local bar on Wednesday night; I already was told one "story" of what happened, but I'll wait till I can hear it from some more people. I liked 3E. I think he has some fantastic ideas. I think him and Mearls were an amazing duo (Cook as the idea guy, Mearls as the implementation guy), and I think 5E will be worse off without his contributions. My quick little comments about all the edition warring going on 1) I hope WotC ignores all of us and makes a good game, because frankly right now the RPG community is a bunch of childish babies who care far more about being right then playing a good game. We're all so hellbent on being right that we're actively going against what makes sense in many games. (See New Coke blind taste tests) 2) 4E made lots of money. 3E made lots of money. 3E was released in one of the greatest boom periods of US Economic History. 4E came out at the beginning of the worst recession in 80 years. Pathfinder seemed to take off this year...you know, about the time the worst of the recession was ending. Just like DDI subs took off. I love how everyone is arguing really small details when forgetting that the last 4 years have been the worst economic situation in the US since pre WWII. 3) WotC is running into the same issue most forms of entertainment are; this serious love of all things nostalgic and retro by our generation. Hell, one could argue Nintendo makes their living off of it (hi next zelda / mario / metroid game I will end up buying). 4E never had a chance between the recession and our generation growing up to match what 3E did in terms of market penetration. Made some good money though. Having playtested 5th; it's pretty cool. I think people will like it, if they like D&D. [/QUOTE]
