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.

What Do You Think 5e Will Look Like?

Quote from: jrients;374653I've been wondering that as well.  I only go to small local cons so it's anecdotal but the RPGA events usually outnumber all other versions of D&D combined and sometimes all other rpg events.

My experience as well. Also you can't just count the number of events either. Some of the RPGA events are setup with more than one table and GM. Basically they pool the players that signed up for that event and then divide them up into table each run by a GM.

To be fair, the Pathfinder Society events work the same way. But yeah, for real accuracy, you'd count the number of player slots available for each event.

I think I am going to say that overall, the winner of 'as it turned out talked the most sense' was jrients.

Quote from: Warthur;374161They'll finally go classless, levelless and GMless, thus severing the last few connections to traditional D&D.

I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.

Quote from: Daztur;374170It'll probably be 4ed with some minor changes and rebalancings just like what 3.5ed was for 3.0ed or 2ed was for 1ed. I don't think there'll be any big changes to the ruleset mostly a cleaning up of the math and general tweaking. Maybe one big change would be setting things up to make it so that you can't use your dailies unless some condition is satisfied so you get fights that go like:
A. PCs are outgunned and start getting beat up.
B. PCs turn the tables with a daily and win.

That'd give the playes a feeling that they won against the odds even though they didn't which is good for the old endorphins...

If they do decide to change things in anything more than a tweaking way it'd probably be a "go back to basics" move and be something like Castles and Crusades. I don't see much middle ground. There's no way that 5ed will try to do something new in a big way.

Not bad, not bad.

Quote from: areola;374507Going up against MMOs is just suicide. Between subscibing for WoW or DDI, WoW will easily win. And Pathfinder will emerge as the flagship RPG.

this one was quite good :)

Quote from: Abyssal Maw;374164It'll be like 4E with improvements, just as 4e was 3.5 with improvements. These improvements will infuriate some, and delight others, and the game will only be picked up by people who actually play it.  

Such a mundane question, really.
Quote from: Abyssal Maw;374538Of course it is never going back to something old. Not now, not in 8 years. I've heaqrd this mentioned by edition-warrior fans as being a good justifcation to keep up the attacks, because they think WOTC listens to non-customers, but I really don't think they do.
So much asshole wrapped up in one poster.
