[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 6223518, member: 4348"] Well, I expect that they will be sorely disappointed. From most of my experience it does NOT feel like the older editions. However, luckily they still are getting my money because they've let AD&D be republished/sold. However, I get the AD&D feel from AD&D...the 3.5 games from Pathfinder...so even with 5e NOT replicating that type of game really (and from those who still actively play those games, I've only heard two or three say it actually FEELS like that type of game, most seem to be sticking with what they have already, and the lapsed players have shown NO interest (still) in picking up D&DN. For the new gamers and lapsed gamers it will depend on the advertising they do (just like it did with 3e), and we have no idea on how that will work (yet). BUT...they made it seem like it would be compatible, and it's not. It was in the speeches and presentations they did...so NO...I don't have a link to their presentations. They have talked about the feel...all we can speak on is ourselves and those we know...and that includes you. For me, it doesn't feel like the old D&D, any of them. It's a mash of different ideas they had...which has created a totally new game of what they considered core ideas...but combining all of that idea doesn't make a game that feels like the old games...more like a game that feels like none of them. AS I said, most of those I've talked to in my own circles don't seem to have great favoritism towards DDN as far as switching. Many may give it a try when it's released, but the only ones that seem somewhat more on board would be the 3e players not playing PF, and some of the 4e players that have not been put off by WotC. That's my own small circle though, I can't speak for any beyond that currently. We'll see what the WotC survey guru's tell us and see what they come up with as time draws closer for them to update the board. [/QUOTE]
