[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7667748, member: 20564"] Kind of meh about his answers. Nothing really offends me, but I don't find myself in agreement with it. For my particular wants in D&D, I am looking for the GAME I am playing. I don't consume the novels and other tie-ins frequently, and if I do it's not because it's D&D but because it stands on it's own merit. This means: a) I don't want mechanics only coming out based on YOUR story, I want it coming out based on COMMUNITY NEEDS. If we want warforged, thri-kreen and psionics, sell us warforged, thri-kreen and psionics. b) Forgotten Realms is one of my least liked WotC setting because of how overdeveloped it is. Yes, it is familiar, but that level of detail makes me LESS likely to run or play in it because I haven't mastered all of the detail. Trying to run a setting for people more familiar with it than I am is a nightmare. c) D&D, in the way I am consuming it, is not only a game FIRST, it's ONLY the game. When you compromise that to change priorities to focus on other medias, I am not being served as a customer. Those sound rather rant-y, but really it's more apathetic. 5e is a really good version of D&D and I'm happy to play it, and while I am a bit saddened that Wizard's priorities for D&D don't perfectly align with mine, that doesn't make 5e any less. It just means that if I want rapid evolution in the directions I want, WotC isn't likely the source so I'll widen my scope of 3rd party developers. I still hope they come out with things I want, with 5e they have rebuilt a level of trust in quality that has gone through cycles with them. [/QUOTE]
