Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaeger" data-source="post: 8418934" data-attributes="member: 27996">The many sins laid at the feet of "capitalism" are universal human failings, that are just as present, and in some cases even more so, in every other alternative economic system.Corporations are not moral as they are financial creatures created by government legislation allowing them to exist as legal entities, separate and distinct from their owners. Shielding the owners from many consequences of 'corporate actions'. Thus repeatedly enabling behavior that would otherwise be checked by normal legal, and market forces.What this all has to do with "The Future of D&D" (New Core Books in 2024!)I have no idea... But I will say that The 50AE version of 5e D&D will be a full on 5.5+ edition.Balancing out the all the small changes they want to incorporate back into the core books will result in an inevitable cascade effect forcing them to follow through on a full revision.It will visually look like the same game, but the devil will be in many details...They will totally get away with this because unlike 3.0's 3 year run, 5e will have been the longest running WotC edition when 2024 rolls around.They will absolutely refuse to call it a new edition, revision, or 5.x anything. Ever.They 50th celebration of D&D will give them a lot of cover in the form of general good will, and positive press for the D&D brand.The special 50AE D&D not-edition could not have the ground better laid with sugary sweetness to help the people pretend that it isn't totally a 5.5 revised edition with a smile.Of course it doesn't exactly hurt the cause that after ten years many of the revisions they will make is stuff that a lot of people incorporate or house rule in their home games anyway; even if they say that they see no need for a "new edition of D&D".But that's just, like, my opinion man.</blockquote>
