[QUOTE="OpsKT, post: 5798661, member: 70780"] Well, I had posted my issues and anger about a new edition so soon before. I have also listed my main desires and for a new Edition of D&D a [url=http://opscon.tumblr.com/post/15568084321/umm-no-nada-and-:):):):)-that]while ago to my own tumblr,[/url] but I'll put the short list here (language edited for the site). So far, still here. It sounds like they are reducing the number of them across the board. I posted on another thread that if they are going to keep HP, they shoudl aim for a lifetime PC total of about 50. Dragons around 70. Demigods around 120. They might be doing that from the sound, so my root issue with HP might be addressed, if not the HP themselves. Yeah, odds are that will not be going away. Seems like that is one of the non-killable sacred cows. No idea here yet at all. The format and number of books has not even been hinted at yet. We can hope for a one-book-one-edition to rule them. I think a [u]Rules Cyclopedia[/u] style book for this edition would do a lot to lower the entry costs for new players. Well, it seems like we've got Vancian slots for spells, or at least the ones learned. There might be a modular method for mana points in the core rules to address this however. So, out of 4, one we still have no idea on, one seems like a compromise, and two are still going to be pretty much the way I don't want. I'm still willing to wait and see however, at least. It might be good. But it might also be an edition I pass on because I have other games that do what I want already; Savage Worlds, BRP, and 4th Edition. I'll take a look at the playtest rules (if they let me) and I'll take a look at the final product in stores, but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon till it proves it is at least better than the 4e I enjoy right now.
