[QUOTE="Monkey Boy, post: 4242999, member: 46422"] Back in 1999 people who suggested that 3.0 would follow a MtG release schedule of regular new editions had no evidence to support them. WOTC track record with RPGs at the time also seemed to indicate a MtG release schedule was unlikely. I would suggest that now we have evidence that DnD will adopt many ideas from MtG including regular minor reboots. WOTC have stated that there will be no version 4.5 but I think the new yearly cores will add enough crunch to count as maybe a 4.1, 4.2 etc while not being implicitly labelled as such. Unless I am not understanding the new core each year. *Warning unfounded speculation* I am imagining 40% all new crunch (rules for new classes like sorcerors), 10% tweaks to existing rules (immediate actions, grappling revised) and 50% unchanged rules (how initiative works). Has the format of the new core this been defined by WOTC? Incidently I don't have a problem with DnD borrowing heavily from MtG. If it makes DnD more popular more power to them. [/QUOTE]
