Like woke is the word you are shooting for.
Xoke defintion: moronic idiots that drink the SJW Koolaid to the last drop and beg for more.

Quote from: Orphan81;1117577Is 6E coming out anytime soon? Last I heard it was still a ways off.

Like the supernova of Betelgeuse, 6E is either imminently upon us all or virtually guaranteed within the next 200,000 years.

Thus we must begin the speculation!!

I don't know...  All those, "It is okay to be white," posters certainly stirred them into a frenzy.  Those 4chan trolls love to poke that beehive with innocent stuff that the SJWs bend and twist into something they find to be evil.

I doubt 6E will be for me, but I like 4E and 13th Age so 5E isn't my thing, either.

I sometimes think about going back to 3.5E and giving it the old fantasy heartbreaker treatment, but that will have to wait until my proper retirement (if at all).

I also enjoyed the earlier "Muslims are right about women"-posters in Canada (IIRC).

There's nothing quite like trolling the whole world.

Probably sticking with a version of 3e.

Since I'm only using the core 5E rules in a home campaign (supplemented with a few of the Kobold Press books, true), I can keep doing that.  I'm using nothing electronic, and between the players we've got easily 20+ copies of the PHB.

I finally got some playtests started with my own system, in the last couple of months.  I'm sure that will take some time.

I've got a hankering to run several other games and/or campaigns.

If WotC doesn't go completely woke, I might try 6E after it has been out a few years.  Assuming the word is that it has something to offer.  As it stands now, I've easily got what I want to run the next 4-5 years.  If 6E sucks, then other things on the list will bump if off entirely.  If not, it might eventually rise to the top.

I didn't even adopt 4e, don't plan on adopting 5e either (might try it out for curiosity's sake, but that's it) and D&D isn't even necessarily my preferred system per se (although I prefer d20+Mod mechanics, but hate class-based systems), so adopting 6e is looking unlikely.

Also...

Quote from: Spinachcat;1117569As for my future games, I plan to play what I write and publish...once I finish the damn things!!

^This

Well, GURPS of course, and maybe some Rolemaster, maybe not.  I might end up running my own games.  That usually means finding faults that need fixed so maybe not.

1e AD&D, always.

I don't understand why people think they "Have to" play the new edition if they're happy with the old.  As far as I'm concerned, 2e didn't "fix" anything I hadn't already "fixed" with 1e, and so on.

I played 5E once, and fun was had, but I didn't buy into it. I never bought into any of the earlier editions either.

I did pick up Shadow of the Demon Lord and a bunch of OSR stuff. I'll be fine just using that and all the non-d20 games I already own.

Quote from: Razor 007;1117558I have a strong hunch that I won't buy into D&D 6E.  I'm definitely not buying into Pathfinder 2E.  So, the question is; what is the plan?

5e PHB is in the top 25-35 of all books sold in the nation (it's number 27 right now as I type this - right below the Keto Diet book, selling well for the new years dieting rush). Over 5 years after it was released.

I wouldn't hold your breath on a 6e. The pattern is well and truly busted at this point. We're in uncharted territory now in terms of sales this far our from release - including 1e and B/X. I don't think we will see a 6e in the next 5 years either.

Quote from: hedgehobbit;1117571Where did they announce 6e? I can't find any concrete details. This surprises me as I didn't think they ever would make a sixth edition.

They definitely did not announce a 6e. Original post is kinda trolling.

Quote from: Orphan81;1117577Is 6E coming out anytime soon? Last I heard it was still a ways off.

As far as anyone can tell, it's not even in planning stage. They have at least 3 years of material planed for 5e already being tinkered with.

Quote from: SHARK;1117584Having said that, I would certainly be opposed to putting more stupid SJW nonsense into the game, or any hypothetical new edition. As you mentioned, KingCheops, Crawford is definitely a questionable game designer, given his particular ideology, and I fear that Mearls has drank the Kool-Aid as well.

It's not the SJW stuff that bugs me (although it does).  I can always scrub out the idiotic purse puppies that litter their writing.  Its the fundamental lack of understanding what's fun and how to judge "their" own rule system.

Palladium Fantasy 1st Ed., Alternity, WFRP 1st & 2nd Ed., and probably random other Palladium Titles.

I'm currently running Rolemaster.

Later this year, I'll be shifting to Traveller.

Beyond that, my current plan is ACKS, probably commencing mid to late 2021. I'd like to get three years out of that.

Best guess to follow ACKS is Al Qadim using Mythras.

D&D 6e doesn't factor into my plans at all, and I can't see that changing.
