Through my gaming friend Flynn, I found out that WotC announced the release schedule for their new Fifth Edition rules. They&#8217;re going with a staggered approach like Third. I forgot they put out all of Fourth in one swoop or more appropriately, this version is best forgotten altogether, it sucked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I haven&#8217;t participated in any play testing so I have no idea on the future game&#8217;s details. Now that I&#8217;m older, and hopefully wiser, I also lack an opinion. I read about snippets from Ewalt&#8217;s book plus other friends who got in on alphas\/betas. Still, little specifics. The generalities I gathered were this version being &#8220;edition independent.&#8221; Not exactly sure what this\u00a0MarketSpeak term means. Another friend implied a possible definition by saying he was excited about re-integrating Second Edition rules through Next\/5E\u2026blech! I thought Fourth was awful, Second is the runner up. Seems D&amp;D has the opposite problem of\u00a0<em>Star Trek<\/em> films, remember, only the even-numbered sequels are good (<em>Khan, Voyage\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>Undiscovered<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I will definitely give the new PHB a decent look over but I&#8217;m 99% set on sticking with\u00a0<em>Pathfinder<\/em>&#8216;s rules, aka D&amp;D 3.75E. Not out of spite, more for economic reasons. Besides, I really like what the Paizo design team has done with their default campaign world. They also publish materials to keep the game moving: stand-alone adventures, six-part mini-campaigns and regional supplements. Paizo is also guilty of making stuff I felt drowned D&amp;D&#8217;s 3\/3.5, too many rulebooks which leads to paralysis via the DM getting hit with excessive options.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wizard of the Coast&#8217;s ears must&#8217;ve been burning after I finally got off my ass to post the overdue book review on\u00a0Of Dice and Men.
