By definition, this is going to leave some people out. (I don't know who exactly.) In any case, I think there is a "vast middle" of players that like a range of games that are more or less D&D-ish in nature. If the next version is decent and provides their table a fun experience, they'll buy it and play it. That doesn't mean they'll devote themselves to it, forsaking all others. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> The above is a separate concern from those lobbying hard for the "Current Version of D&D" to cater to their preferences, and not really caring about anyone else, on the often mistaken grounds that this is the best way to maximize their play chances and/or convince other people to play the style they enjoy. That is, the number of people who just play whatever D&D is right now, without regards to whether it fits their style or not, is ... let's just say a concept with more than its full share of hyperbole. These people will be disappointed with 5E no matter what, except insomuch as they are able to convince themselves that other tables are using and enjoying the same options that they are.</blockquote>
