Still somewhat curious about what Wizards was planning to reveal and then didn't. 5e?

They just hired Monte Cook, and Margaret Weis claims Monte is working on 5e. It's always been a question of when, but now it's "how soon?"

This guy again? Well, now I know what I won't be buying - his mechanics are every bit as inelegant as John Wicks, and not nearly as innovative.

Not sure what to make of this, TBH. Not that I really have any plans to buy 5E, anyway.

I was being a little bit facetious don't worry.

If this causes yet another split with editions still being played, I'll be happy. Enough of that, and non D&D might actually enter the market in a meaningful fashion.

That's an interesting take on it. This is the first time that more than two versions will be in support, so there could be a three-way wank between 3.5/Pathfinder vs 4e vs 4.5/5/whatever. I wonder how that will affect the argument when you have more than two camps.

Considering WotC will hard-kill Essentials once 5 comes out, I'm not sure it'll change much. They've more or less killed the original 4E line as it is.
