[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 8273071, member: 6895991"] Really liked your analysis and agree on it except for one point, and although i am a big fan of that setting i do not feel bad about that i think that they will not do DS. Why? For DS i think the The people who are fans split up between 40 + year olds playing the original in the 90s (and maybe did a bit of it in 3e or 4e but only a few) and let us say people who knew the 4e version mainly. So that splits up the possible customers in two groups whose expectation is different on how 5e should resolve this. Add on top the ultra pc-cleaneliness required by todays zeitgeist and you see that DS 5e by Wotc could only be a bland shadow of what 2e and even 4e version were. It would be DS by name only. The many psionicist models out of which only UA3 was a real Psionicist char, all this hodgy podgy psi as a feat halfclass added to any class (most of them not belonging into DS), the complaints of younger folks on topics like slavery etc. show that they will not have an easy solution which is market conform. With DL i think they would love to do it because it is really flashy could make a great movie if done right with todays CGI possibilities, but it might be that the legal brand topics are not quite resolved on this setting.
