This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

D&D Next will be ...

Apparently work started on this a few times but it always got killed by management.

The reason being (apparently) that the two brands should not be mixed. Maybe WotC fears that a failure of one brand (4e...) would shed a negative light on the other.

Ever since I saw the Art of Weatherlight artbook I thought the MtG setting(s) would make excellent D&D worlds, leaving both D&D tropes and Tolkien tropes way behind.
Swords & Wizardry & Manga ... oh my.
(Beware. This is a Kickstarter link.)

Ravnica has been a strong influence on my vision of Sigil.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Quote from: soviet;718550In D&D you buy 3 books and you're set for life.

I'm not sure the two business models are as identical as you think.

In older versions of D&D it was 3 books. How many core rulebooks did 4th have? 6? 9? I lost track after a while.
