[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5771142, member: 18507"] The OP's question is a valid question. Essentially, what can 5e provide to anyone who already went and found whatever system they switched too. If 5e is a "back to basics" or becomes modular so that it unifies the systems, essentially, it's stripping it down as a very basic components at its core so it can be used with all editions. However, the OSR folks have that with their retro clones. For those who just didn't want to jump into 4e and liked 3.x, we have Pathfinder, True 20, or Fantasy Craft or just download a copy of the SRD and you're ready to go. 5e will probably have to offer something "additional" aside from official support from WotC. Maybe we'll see a DDI for 5e or some kind of new perk. Even if 5e turns out to be a very compatible edition, I still see it as kind of a hard sell to satisfied players of OSR retro clones or Pathfinder. [/QUOTE]
