[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8633666, member: 6987520"] Predicting for myself: I started in '78 and played for nearly 30 years straight until 2007 (with some 3E and d20 SW) when I took a hiatus from playing for a while. I still worked on my content, developing my world, and occasionally got into a game, but nothing regular until about 4 years ago (where has the time gone!?) with 5E and a new group. Now, I can accept 5E [I]for what it is[/I], but it ain't your Daddy's D&D folks, at least not IMO. But, hey, times (and people) change--and so do editions--I get that. So, unless WotC makes some [I]serious[/I] design changes, which I am not expecting considering the "backwards compatibility" we're likely to see, I will not be embracing another edition of D&D at all. I might, when finished with my 5E mod, continue to play 5E as long as I can find players willing to play the "mod edition". If I can find old-school players or new players interested in B/X or AD&D , then I will play that. I will continue to play d20 SW if I get players for that. It is IMO the best d20 game--bar none. For others: What will the "5E-only" crowd experience with a new edition? Who knows... It will probably be the same many of experienced with every other edition release: some excitement, some anxiety, some relief, some disappointment, some joy. One thing I can say is this: with the wide-spread exposure of a new release, WotC had better nail it or they could very well suffer some serious setbacks. I can understand why they might be hesitant to do anything drastic in a new release. Some people embrace change, but most don't IME. 🤷‍♂️ [/QUOTE]
