It's just fun and interesting to imagine what WotC will do with a 5th edition. Personally, I'm intrigued by speculation about how it might relate to DDI.There's a couple of things that concern me about any future edition of D&D. One of them would be that, irrespective of its qualities, I'd take some convincing before investing in yet another version of one game. That would be the biggest issue for me, I admit.The other thing is, from the beginning of the third edition, there were themes in art direction and what people around here often call flavour that I didn't really care for. Dungeonpunk (been around since the eighties, I know) and prestige classes with with titles so long it takes the first page of a character sheet to write them down aren't my cup of tea. Now I see people saying that 4e has more flavour than 3e. I'll take their word for that but, from what I've seen and read of 4e, that flavour has gone further down a round I didn't want to take in the first place. Consequently, I suspect that a fifth edition would be a step too far for me, purely from a thematic perspective.Of course, I'd happily be proven wrong but I doubt they're going go photorealistic with really, really understated magical effects.So my two biggest concerns about any future edition aren't even mechanics related (although magic has to be Vancian, for me, Kannon, because of the way it doesn't make sense). That's just how I roll.</blockquote>
