[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6090310, member: 7006"] Really Abdul? You serious? Do you honestly believe WotC would make NEARLY the amount of money just producing more 3E and 4E supplements than they will from an entirely new game? Because that's EXACTLY the reason why they *are* making 5E. Because most other gamers aren't like you, and will buy the new game simply because it's a new game. And buying new games is cool and fun. And if WotC's lucky... we'll buy the new game AND then find out that we can craft a hybrid of 3E and 4E that takes the parts of 3E we like plus the parts of 4E we like AND that we can use our old modules from both editions we own and adapt them to this new hybrid game we are playing fairly easily. Thus all that old material we still have stored can get used again. Or we can now go onto RPGNow and buy all those old AD&D modules and then adapt and use THOSE in our new hybrid game. Because I think that is indeed their plan. And yes, someone will buy it. Many someones, in fact. Indeed, many more someones than the someone who would buy a "new" 3.5 Player's Handbook IV. [/QUOTE]
