In August 2011 (before 5e was even announced) I made a blog post (<a href="http://blog.retroroleplaying.com/2011/08/new-edition-of-d-designed-to-unite-d.html" target="_blank">A New Edition of D&D Designed to Unite D&D Players -- Can It Be Done?</a>) about how it would be almost impossible to develop an edition of D&D that "almost everyone" would be able to play and really enjoy. I list some 12 points where different groups really want almost completely opposite things from D&D -- and mentioned that there were probably many more. As far as I can tell advocating for anything one wants/does not want in an D&D edition is going to be asking that what at least some other major group of players wants be excluded.  People simply want too many almost completely opposite things in their D&D to have one edition that works well for most people.</p></blockquote><p></p>
