Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 3748379" data-attributes="member: 22424">Two things:1) WotC have specifically said that 4.5 is not coming. You may elect not to believe them; I'll address that below.2) 3.5e is now regarded as a bad move, for a number of reasons. People seem to very much dislike the 'point' revision; it pulled the rug out from under a lot of d20 companies; and it is seen as a 'stealth edition', with all of the drawbacks of printing a new edition, and none of the benefits of the anticipation thus generated.It makes much more sense, for a business standpoint if nothing else, for them to not do a 4.5 edition, and skip straight to 5th edition. Whether that is in 5 years or 8 is open for debate; my guess would be closer to the former than the latter.I once thought as you do. I posted to that effect, was called on it, and did the search. I was not able to find a single quote direct from any Wizards employee that was untruthful. The closest you get is Scott Rouse's comments at D&D Experience that 4th Edition was "a long way off." At that time, it was more than a year, which is enough to qualify as "a long way off". The one about them "not working on 4th edition"? That was "we're not working on a 4th edition that will require the use of miniatures".If I have missed something, please post the relevant quote. Otherwise, can I humbly suggest that perhaps you might want to consider if you have just maybe misjudged them?</blockquote>
