The announcement it made, the publishers engaged, now it's time to see if they can dance... I feel both good and bad things about the anouncement of the development of a new edition of Dungeons & Dragons, because I think they did wonderful things with the last edition, and because there are a lot of people in the world who hated it.
Even after spending days and days reading forum posts about why people hated 4E, not a single one of them has been able to give me a reason that made any sort of sense. I am not saying 4E was perfect, but it was better than anything previous, and I feel I need to organise my thoughts on the subject and put them somewhere.
That is one of the purposes for this blog. The other is for my to say what I think about information about D&D Next that has come to light. Sometimes I will be general in my thoughts, other times I will be speicific.
So where this will take me I do not know. But I am sure I will have moments of joy and moments of horror as information about D&D Next starts to surface in more meaningful amounts, so if you are interested in what I have to say. Keep watching.
D&D Next might be produced like Big Eye Small Mouth, 2nd edition. the book had both second edition rules,and first edition rules within it as well.
ReplyDeletewhat i understand of dnd Next,it would have the ability to play first edition ,and 3rd edition.
