[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5771502, member: 54877"] I think this part says more about your perception of events than the reality of them. For myself, I don't really care if they do a new edition right now or not. (From a practical standpoint, I think a summer 2014 launch is the earliest the economy will be able to support a new edition, but I have no idea where they are in the process. And I do appreciate the open playtest.) I [B]do[/B] care that if they do one, they do a good job with it. If it is a good one, then I [B]might[/B] buy it. It will need to not only be good, but do something that I want do, better than something I already own. That's pretty much the way I approach games. And that's also why I've never come close to "completing" a game edition, and have skipped whole editions. (I got about half of Arcana Evolved, probably the closest I've ever come to getting everything in a multiple book line.) 3E wasn't a problem with little invested in 2E, and most of that source material. And 4E sure wasn't a problem with one 3.5 book to my name. And 5E, if I like the looks of it, won't be a problem with my 10-12 4E books. Really, the whole angst over new edition or not I think says less about the psychology of people who like to tinker with game rules--and thus discuss things that relate to editions, than it does about people with "completionist" urges that cause them to make all kinds of wild statements about what the existence of a new edition does to them.
