[QUOTE="Alexander Wilson, post: 6256490, member: 6703690"] For me the damage has been done. What wotc should have emphasised more is that 'there is no need to update to Next'. My personal feeling was that there was pressure on the community to 'get everyone' updated to 5ed. And when I say pressure, imagine levelling up a character to 8th level. That may take a year, and the playtest ran for roughly a year. *I'll look up the exact dates later*. I know I came into D&D 4ed later on, like some say in the thread they were getting fatigue! I wasn't at that stage. So it felt like "ripping everything out" in order to lay some new seeds. It's been quite depressing from an organiser side of thing. Yet, I am old enough and will be looking forward to good things. I'm left wondering how deplaced some younger gamers will feel about the switch after spending time and effort to learn the rules. I hope they don't get deflated as D&D is a great game. I really wish they had kept 4ed though and just opened up the rest of Toril, and maybe released an Essentials 2nd edition to combat the '4ed' fatigue. When it was announced a new edition. I felt the spin! alot. I've brought Scourge of the Sword Coast. Will run it as best as I can. But I have no hesitation in saying its going to mentally wipe me out :( [/QUOTE]
