Message: <blockquote data-quote="Polyhedral_Columbia" data-source="post: 6652391" data-attributes="member: 55445">When I start a thread, I do try to listen and respond to nearly everyone.Another way of handling "tradition" is to ask "what is organically the next step?" I agree that the next step needs to be an organic continuation from where we are now. Otherwise, there's a rupture, like occurred between 3E and 4E. Yet I feel that much of my vision for D&D is organic, *if taken all together.*And though I titled the OP "Sixth Edition", most or all twelve points could be implemented even within 5E.  Even the super-simplified Core D&D idea could be offered as a separate line alongside the 5E line. Mearls has stated that he wished he had offered 4E as a separate tactically-oriented D&D-branded game, while keeping 3E as as the traditional TTRPG. Likewise, an experimental Ultra-Basic D&D TTRPG could be offered alongside the existing product line.and Despite the confusing title, my OP was actually written to *counter* the idea that D&D should just become a boardgame, or just a series of unconnected pre-generated quasi-RPG boxed sets. People are seriously suggesting that over in the Mearls Tweets thread. And it sounded not all that appetizing...like my exit from the hobby.An earlier poster was right--the twelve points I wrote have little to do Eurogames or any other kind of boardgame. I used the word “Eurogame” in the sense of making products which are intended to stay in-print for a long time.The twelve points are basically just a fresh concept for 6E. Or a way to retool 5E without an edition change.</blockquote>
