So Wizards has announced the next edition here. I recognize that there will be further discussion later when we get some real news, but given the intelligence of this community I will ask, 2cp for your thoughts?

Either this is a joke or your link is messed up.

This is CharOp. We not only assume block-of-tofu monsters, but also block-of-tofu DMs.

You're already refluffing, what not refluff to something that doesn't suck?

Fixed, sorry guys. I recognize there is a thread is GenDiscussion, but I figured a lot of people haunt mostly here, and I would curious to hear more focused thoughts.

A bit surprised, I knew it had to be in the works given what the lead time is on a project like that, but I didn't expect it to be announced for awhile yet as I imagine this will hurt sales for 4E. Also odd that it didn't get announced at a major event like GenCon.

This really doesn't belong in CharOp.

So i'm guessing that jumbo thread of feedback we gave them is either not going to be used, or will be used to a minor degree in 5e.

Cynically speaking, we finally have our explanation for why most of the fixes they promised us in 2011 never happened and why content releases seemed so sparse.
Even more cynically speaking, they just guaranteed I won't buy any more 4e books.
Practically speaking, whether I jump on board for 5e will depend largely on LFR and my local group of players.
The content team made a lot of gameplay missteps with Essentials, some of which they corrected in HotFW and some of which they did not. It remains to be seen whether they learned the right lessons and whether and how they'll actually apply the lessons they did learn to 5e. In that regard, I guess it's a good thing that they'll have a playtest period. Ultimately, we can't judge the new edition until we actually see any of it.

Actually this is the thing I'm most disappointed by.
