[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8633661, member: 1465"] I think the gamer base will remain the same. 5.1 will be a smaller update than 3.5 was for 3.0. Even those who bought all 5e books would not have spent a fortune and will probably be able to use at least all the adventures and monsters books, so they won't nearly be in the same situation as someone who invested heavily in 3e or 4e and might have decided not to move to the next edition. Younger gamers who haven't seen an edition change/update yet will be more intrigued than worried. Older grognards already know they'll house rules to their taste and care only relatively for "compliance". And there's a massive amount of non-DMing players who buy only the PHB and maybe a little more, but fundamentally do not care about what edition they are playing. I think as long as the current people are in charge at WotC, the rules will keep evolving slowly and next update will be 5.2 for the 60th. Although, IMHO they have already scraped the barrel a bit with character material so something will change in the typical content of supplements, probably more settings and less generic rulesbook. But only when the current directors will quit or retire and someone else takes charge we will see a 6e. [/QUOTE]
