[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5825968"] 3e came out sooner after 2e than 2e came after 1e. 4e came out sooner than that. Wizards is in the job of making money, and the whips of their masters Hasbro are pushing them ever harder to justify their existence with more dollars. Long downtime between editions with minor supplementary content simply will not suffice any longer. Your "evidence" that 4e was "bad" which is the reason for 5e is anecdotal at best and mostly personal opinion. 4e didn't fail by any margin, it brought in huge numbers of players to a genre that was dying. It may have "failed" by the standards of people who haven't bought a D&D book since 1985, but frankly, I doubt those people are any more inclined to buy 5e than they were to buy 4e. EDIT: also, if your only purpose here is to bash 4e and claim 1e was the greatest wheel ever, I'd suggest against it. [/QUOTE]
