[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8983329, member: 59816"] I don't disagree with you guys that as a gamer I'd personally rather have a new edition that really digs into improving the game, but that's not usually what we get from a new edition, is it? Usually it fixes some things that are broken, and breaks some things that were fine. In fact, that's ALWAYS what has happened. My hope for this "revision" is that they actually improve on 5e. Maybe that won't be good enough for 5e-haters, and probably won't improve the things I'm not fond of in 5e by [I]enough[/I] (for me), but if it's "Like 5e but better" I will be quite happy with it. (If still imagining a time of greatness that could-have-been). OTOH as a game retailer, I think that this is the "safer" bet, market-wise. They are far, FAR more likely to enrage the overall fanbase with a whole new edition, no matter how "good" it is. I mean, with the internet making bank off of anger, there's almost no way they won't enrage a whole group of people [I]no matter what they do[/I], but this plan is definitely the lesser-of-two-evils. We shall see how it shakes out. [/QUOTE]
