Believe it or not, 4E was an evolution of 3E. A lot of what 4E is 3E tried to be with varying levels of success. 4E wasn't a revolution so much as it wasn't afraid to dump or entirely change things.5E will make changes based on the complaints of people actually playing 4E. First and foremost, I expect the game to be faster. Of all complaints I here from people actually playing enjoying and playing the game, people complain that the game runs too slow. I can make some predictions on what 5E will not be:1. It will not be OGL.2. It will not be point buy. D&D is at its heart a class based system and always will be.3. It will still be a combat focused game, as it always has been.4. I don't expect it to be simulationist to a great degree. It might not be quite as hostile to simulationism as 4E is, but any change in this direction will be minor if at all.5. The aesthetics won't be tied to classic fantasy. If anything, it will go down the videogame/anime/comic book path further.Last of all, I expect 5E to continue the tradition of being hated by fans of earlier editions more than the previous edition. If you as a fan of older versions of D&D dislike 4E, I fully expect 5E to be worse in that regard.</blockquote>
