[QUOTE="Dungeonosophy, post: 6370007, member: 6688049"] It's not reinventing the wheel. It's taking the four wheels of the previous edition and re-tooling them to run the 5e vehicle. The reference/compendium series wouldn't include all the fluff and optional rules--it'd just be cut-and-dried 5E reference books for each of the main elements of D&D, the main ones being: All the PC races All the classes All the spells All the magic items All the monsters I'm glad to hear what you and others really imagine and desire, without self-censoring yourself. Self-censoring our imagination based on our incomplete picture of a company's business plan is an example of corporatist-shaped imagination. That's why I like to hear what you and others really want. This is why it'd be complementary for all the out-of-print PDFs to be freely released. The compendiums would just contain the crunch, stripped of art, black and white interiors (like the 2e Spell Compendium) and gathered from all the hundreds of PDFs from all worlds. The PDFs would remain a value resource for fluff. Except for the adventures, I'm not talking about going back and putting 5E stats in old books. The adventure compendium wouldn't just be a reprint. They'd give adventure path flowcharts and segways, canonical placement and adaptation for each published D&D world, and suggestions for scaling the challenge level of each adventure up or down so they could be played in a different order. I saw enough of a deluge of new content in the 4E era. I don't want much of anything new until those reference compendiums are out, so that all of the previous, fragmented heritage of D&D has been digested and coherently integrated into the 5E D&D Multiverse. Then I'd be ready for new material, such as a new campaign setting. Put these compendiums out over the next 3 years, and then bring a new world into this newly integrated, coherent D&D Multiverse.
