[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8064389, member: 50987"] I mean, I'm a fan of pretending that 4th Edition never happened (just kidding, don't @ me) :p, but I don't agree that 5th Edition is just a higher-evolved Pathfinder. [U]I don't think 5th Edition needs to be fixed, and I don't think the intent of the "Level Up" project is to patch a broken game.[/U] Expansions and modifications to the game are great to have, and they are interesting to talk about. I want more crunch, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the chefs at ENWorld cook up for us. But it isn't a necessary step in the evolution of the game. The game is doing just fine. That wasn't the case for 3rd and 4th Edition. Strong as they might have been, sales were slumping, popularity was dropping, and they were losing customers to other products after just a few years. But that's not the case for 5th Edition: six-plus years after its release the brand has never been stronger, popularity has never been higher, and sales have never been better. So I'd be very surprised if a 6th Edition of the game is released anytime soon. (It's still fun to speculate about, though.) [/QUOTE]
