[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 6067166, member: 11821"] That's pretty much where I am, though. 4e was a new interpretation of D&D that focused on rebuilding the mechanics from the ground up and pulling back the curtain on design. Next will have to be similarly innovative to capture my interest. (Not similar in design, though - I already have 4e, and I don't need to buy 4e again any more than I need to buy 1e or 3e again.) And yes, I'm pretty well aware I'm barking up the wrong tree, because although there are a few interesting bits here and there, the nature of a public playtest will draw design in a much more conservative direction than I'd prefer. :) And we'll probably end up with an edition that's second-best at doing stuff that other editions are actually best at. -O [/QUOTE]
