The 5th edition of D&D sounds like an interesting project, but 4th edition also sounded good when we first started hearing about it and then it turned out to be disappointing as far as I’m concerned… I’ve already got a perfectly playable 3.5 edition and a ‘retro clone’ (Castles & Crusades) for when I want something more rules-light. Wizards of the Coast is going to have to do an impressive job with 5th edition for me to shelve out the bucks for a new rules set! I skipped 4th edition and I’ll be perfectly fine skipping the 5th unless it really amazes me.
