[QUOTE="Ampersand999, post: 5771029, member: 88067"] I would love to give experience points to many posts here, but I can't seem to do that at this time. Anyway, here are my suggestions: [LIST=1] [*]4th edition's failure was that it tried to mimic video game play. It doesn't work when you are sitting down face to face or streaming it on TwitchTV. Get away from that. [*]3rd edition's failure was that too many spells were "broken", and generally a lot of rules were set up where martial classes dominated for the first ten levels and then after that it was all magic-users. Get away from that. [*]As with many of the posters, I would rather see a complete set now and only have supplements that augmented that complete set. Give me all of the available classes and races in a single set instead of having three DMGs and three players guides and made it feel like it was always there, just never acted upon. [*]Finally, I think Wizards should get out of the modules and world settings business. Focus on crafting the rules and supplements and let 3rd parties come out with the modules and rules. I think Wizards should recognize that it will not be the financial success Hasbro is wanting, and thus should lower its own expectations and scope for a long while. In the long run, focusing on just the rules and the supplements should allow Wizards to make a steady profit and heck, maybe there wouldn't be too many more Christmas layoffs in the future?
