Seconded. I'd be fine if support (in the "new material" sense) for 4th ceased when 5th came out, but only if the tools, compendium, character builder, etc. stayed up.

"Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall, "But Iron -- Cold Iron -- is master of them all." -Kipling Defenders: We ARE the wall! I've replaced the previous Edition Warring line in my sig with this one, because honestly, everybody needs to work together to make the D&D they like without trampling on somebody else's D&D.

Very excited to see this announcement. I love 4e for it's balance, but I think the toolbox idea is a great way to allow different gaming froups to choose their complexity level. Anxiously looking forward to getting my chance to give input.
Kalex the Omen Dungeonmaster Extraordinaire Concerning Player Rules Bias

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.

Whatever they do it needs to be better than playing 4E using the old character builder with or without what /tg has done to it since it was abandoned
...whatever

That is a good question that clearly needs an answer.
Beyond that, I'm not enthused. You guys have spent FAR too much time thrashing on rules systems over the last 8 years and far too little doing good content development for what you have. Look at your competition. It isn't twiddling with new rules systems that will bring success. Good writers, good stories, that's what works. If you think 4e's issue has to do with the rules system I think you've badly missed the boat.
That is not dead which may eternal lie

I signed up and am asking my current group to sign up for playtest as well. I will dedicate my play time and reading time to really digest the new rules as needed.

I hope that whatever they create, they actually support it.
As it stands now, we have several classes and races that are simply subpar to play (the seeker immediatley comes to mind).
