[QUOTE="GVDammerung, post: 4833511, member: 33060"] Wonderful thread! And I think your comments very well considered. However, I will venture to disagree with the above quote, if you meant it to apply to more than 4e. I agree the D&D audience has been split by 4e and 4e cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again. 5e may be able to do so, however. 2e left the D&D universe underwhelmed toward the end but 3e found a way to bring people back to the table. 5e might be able to do the same, by different or the same strategies. Or not. I say, "Bring on 5e!" :D If nothing else, it will give Clark something to cheerlead for. ;) I think he is on to something when he posits Wotc as "The D&D Company" but I think it would take a new edition to make that more than a slogan. Wotc handling of 4e has burned bridges, IMO, and such a tactic now would not be presently credible. A new edition would offer the possibility of a fresh start, particluarly if lessons from the 4e rollout are learned. So - 5EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! :cool: [/QUOTE]
