Trevor, can you confirm if the 4e digital tools will still work/exist after 5e is released? I understand that 5e tools will be developed, but I'm wondering if subscribers would still be able to play 4e as a standalone version should they choose.
they are claiming they are, we will see how it goes
The thing I like about this is that they can keep the VTTand have it support both systems. As long as they keep things like the grid system the same, the rules sets can be simplyq based on the rules type selected for a session/campaign. There's no reason why two databases can't be used and have the rules/ powers/ whatever else be used from the set. Especially when they already have the base done for 4e. Tiles etc can be cross edition.
The more I think about this, the more I am looking forward to it.

For those who haven't seen it, the D&D Next page is up and ready for your feedback. You'll also find the info on the team working on what's coming next there as well as a poll on what you want to see in the first playtest.
i am very happy to see that mr. schwalb will be playing a role in the creation of 5e.

style he also says he already played 5e, so its already in a playable form
A friend and I developed an RPG in the late 80s and early 90s. We play tested it with our group from almost day one, and the last version looked nothing at all like the first version. You are being hysterical. Take a few deep breaths and calm down.
Kalex the Omen Dungeonmaster Extraordinaire Concerning Player Rules Bias
Show
Gaining victory through rules bias is a hollow victory and they know it.
The argument goes, that some idiot at the table might claim that because there is a "default" that is the only true way to play D&D. An idiotic misconception that should be quite easy to disprove just by reading the rules, coming to these forums, or sending a quick note off to Customer Support and sharing the inevitable response with the group. BTW, I'm not just talking about Next when I say this. Of course, D&D has always been this way since at least the late 70's when I began playing.

I would have been. He seemed like a stand-up decent designer to me. And then he wrote the Book Of Vile DMing, and it changed my mind. Both the play style it espouses, and the dreadful mechanics.
I remain cautiously interested, probably slightly more cautiously now that the core team has been announced.

Where's thepoll option for 'I don't really care about something that meaningless, please tell me something about the game's core mechanics'?
Seriously. The success or failure of the game is in its core mechanics (and I use that tense intentionally; I have no doubt that its core mechanics are already solidly in place), not something so completely meaningless as which mobs the groups will face.
I really appreciate the communication. If that is one thing that will actually come of this, then that's one thing that I am all in favour of.
Calm slightly :P There will be more information to share when it comes to specifics, but today is all about the announcement.

And now we do. Seriously, man, I defend you often enough to tell you to quit being so negative.
You're seriously whining that they did a simultaneous announcement across a wide variety of platforms including the new york times?
It's a pretty damn wide announcement, man.

...was going to post something snarky, but then pictured all the "don't feed the trolls" responses.
