D&D 5E What big thing is supposed to be next week?

Nice to be the NYT and completely ignore an embargo. Guess what would have happened if I'd posted it early?

You'd been first for the last time?

Interesting that WotC are conducting this experiment but I can't help thinking of the equation:

Camel = Horse + Committee

Seems most likely to result in a design that appeals to the lowest common denominator. Quite the opposite of how the original game was conceived and developed.

Still, will follow with interest and participate, if possible and if, as the article suggests, it's more than an open beta.

This is my concern.

Or rather, that the squeakiest wheel will get the grease, as opposed to what the majority wants.

Also considering the amount of pixels devoted to people saying what they want, you'd think that by now WotC wouldn't need to ask.

Wow. I feel incredibly bummed now.

Just kidding! (but not really)

Nice to see WotC promoting the NYT article on Twitter despite the broken embargo.

So WoTC already got started off the wrong foot! An omen or just a blip?
