[QUOTE="Space Coyote, post: 4925188, member: 29895"] I remember when the 3.5 edition came out, my gaming group thought that that would be the last edition of D&D because the game rules covered so much and offered so many options. Then the 4th edition was announced and we were curious as to what the changes would be. At first I was a little disappointed because the 4th edition almost seemed like a different game altogether since so many rules were so different from any previous version. My gaming group is only just getting into 4th edition now (we made characters :D), but it looks good so far. This kind of opened my eyes and I think that I would be receptive to a future version of the game being changed even further. However, if the game were to change too much (such as completely removing the statistics or class or something similar), then there would be no point, if the game was no longer recognizable [I]as[/I] Dungeons & Dragons. I still think it is a little too early to think about a newer edition though :D heh. [/QUOTE]
