Where did I say it would be a reprint?
But hey, on this thread, MaxPerson has been talking about how they're not actually compatible.
I have not seen every post either though… specifically about being compatible? I know some just did not like them, but compatibility, no, do not remember thatYou didn't see any complaints about that? I know I complained about it.
History suggests that the people who hate a thing in gaming, whether tabletop or videogame, will stick around for a very long time to tell you all about how mad they are.
Sure, but if it wasn't in the public playtest and it later becomes a point of friction, then it's hard to argue that it was well tested.Just because something doesn't appear in the Public Playtest doesn't mean it wasn't playtested.
We The People are not WotC's "Make sure this works" playtesters. We are the "Hey, is thing thing cool?" playtesters. There's a difference.
Or the WotC designers and Alpha playtesters did not believe what certain members of the public considered to be "wrong" or "bad" was what they believed to be how they wanted it designed.Sure, but if it wasn't in the public playtest and it later becomes a point of friction, then it's hard to argue that it was well tested.
3.5 sales were in the toilet. That was never in debate. Heck, by the tail end of 3.5, before the announcement for 4e, there were maybe, 5 small to mid-sized 3pp still making 3.5e stuff. It was pretty dead at the end there.what about 3e to 4e? No idea what sales were then, just wondering
I'd say Paizo was pretty big even back than. But other than them, I'd say the only relevant one was Goodman Games. Most of the significant 3PPs of 3rd edition had moved on, including White Wolf, AEG, Fantasy Flight Games, Green Ronin, Privateer Press, Mongoose. Most of those had developed or purchased their own systems, though in some cases based on d20.3.5 sales were in the toilet. That was never in debate.

To be clear, I expect them to market it as Dungeons and Dragons like they do now. They don't market 5e as 5th edition generally now anyway. Notice no 5e on the cover of the upcoming book:Well, I guess we'll see next year.
