[QUOTE="rogueattorney, post: 1664506, member: 17551"] I voted "other" as in, "I don't care". Chances are, I will like it as little as I like the most recent few editions. Those who are citing the 11-year increments are ignoring a pretty crucial element. Both 2ed and 3ed came out after a significant change in ownership of the D&D property. 2e came out about two years after the powers that be finally were able to force G.G. out of TSR. 3e came out about two years after TSR went under and it was acquired by WotC. (Hasbro's subsequently acquired WotC, but it looks like they haven't really interfered much with how things have been run.) The eleven years thing was pretty much a coincidence. So, to answer the question seriously, I'd say the next big revision comes within a couple years of the next real big shake-up in management at WotC/Hasbro. Now, I could see WotC/Hasbro doing BRP/CoC-styled "editions" ad infinium, but I don't think that's the style of edition "changes" the original poster was looking for. I'd look for a 3.51, 3.6, 3.75, and 3.8 before I'd look for a true fourth edition of the game. R.A. [/QUOTE]
