[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9271706, member: 6790260"] Yeah. I think that while some still appreciate the...shall we say "slow drip" form of content from 5.0, WotC is probably going to need to step things up a bit as folks look for new horizons. That's another part of why I suspect there won't be a "5.75e" or whatever we feel like calling it. A new edition gives them breathing room, and fosters tons of hype via public [S]marketing[/S] [I]playtesting[/I]. (Though I will admit, I have been surprised at how much the "OneD&D" playtest has actually listened to people. Both "D&D Next" and the various PF1e public playtests were much more like previews than playtests. If the designers really wanted something, they'd go for it or hold out for a LONG time before yielding to feedback. That hasn't been true of the current playtest, and I respect that.) Between "this game is 20 years old," playtest-hype, the financial surge from selling new core books, and the design breathing room...yeah, I think there will be a lot of reasons for WotC to seriously consider a new edition starting around 2030 if 5.5e performs about as well as I expect it to, or a bit earlier if it struggles.
