[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 3322677, member: 926"] I really have no idea. It [i]could[/i] be possible. I will only buy the books if it is a significant improvement over 3E. I really don't think my group or DM will want to, however. My DM has just now [i]finally[/i] started to embrace most of the options of 3.5 and use the splatbooks (thank goodness), and he would e highly resistant to a new edition. If it is good enough, however, I will bu the books and use it for the games I run. If it is a [i]significant[/i] improvement, that is. But I still see room for lots more 3.5 material, and can't really imagine what they could do to improve the game that much. If it is more miniatures focused, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 meter cattleprod. If it is anything like a board game with collectible elements *shudder/vomit* I wouldn't touch it with a 50 meter cattleprod while wearing a hazmat suit. 3.5 fulfills all of my D&D needs. I won't claim that they couldn't blow me away with some new ideas, but what I want from a D&D game is character customizability, [i]not[/i] simplicity or "ease of play" (whatever that is) as some people say they want, and if a new edition makes any sacrifices in character customization to make play speedier or simpler, I won't be interested in the slightest. I want to make my character [i]exactly[/i] the way I want, and to have mechanical benefits befitting the roleplaying concept (if I say my character is a swordmaster, I want mechanics to support that assertion rather then him just being the same as any other Fighter with a sword, for example.) If, however, they make the game [i]less[/i] miniatures focused (which I know they will not do) while keeping all of the tactical options they have in 3.5 (Attacks of Opportunity or a similar mechanic) then I will rush out to get the game while giggling like a 12 year old Japanese girl going to get a Hello Kitty backpack. But I have the nauseating feeling that, considering the apparent success of D&D minis and the love of miniatures that most gamers seem to have, I am going to be SoL. [/QUOTE]
