[QUOTE="delericho, post: 8041194, member: 22424"] I think a new edition soon is somewhat more likely than it was previously - if WotC are serious about some of the lore changes, they probably need to be baked into the core, and they probably also need to break backwards-compatibility enough to 'force' people to update. That said, a new edition right now is probably the last thing they want to do, given that 5e continues to sell so well. And when you factor in the problem that even-numbered editions have a tendency to almost kill the game, that suggests they should probably avoid it. So... maybe. My gut feeling is that we won't see a new edition for several years yet. For the Anniversary, I think I'd instead expect to see some sort of deluxe re-issue of the books, maybe with new artwork but with no rule changes, but probably some greater emphasis on other premium products. Though I'm not sure what those might be. [/QUOTE]
