Revamp and update the old modules a bit and sell it. Come on the cost of doing this would be minimal to Wizards with a chance to make a good deal of profit. They can then release 5e as something along the line of D&D Advanced and if they can somehow create a conversion book, they can move some players from 'Classic' to 'Advanced', if they are so inclined.. And Erik I play in two PF campaigns.. and the rules are crunchy as granola but Paizo has done a fantastic job of taking the 3.5 rules to the next level..The Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13670101962259531452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-35358723234938737652012-05-15T17:09:46.263-04:002012-05-15T17:09:46.263-04:00More, there are 'TSR gamers' were had bare...More, there are 'TSR gamers' were had barely started school when TSR ceased to be.DrBarglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06683770320671028815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-91973030851017515302012-05-15T16:35:05.653-04:002012-05-15T16:35:05.653-04:00Based simply on intuition I'm inclined to agre...Based simply on intuition I'm inclined to agree.<br><br>I take the magic-user as outlined by Mearls is a leitmotif for 5e - it will be lipservice to older editions and substantively not a game I want to play.<br><br>Moreover, "what would Gary do?" Is poli-speak for how do we do what we want and spin it to make it palatable to older gamers.<br><br>It's a shame because there are just scads of people interested in playing D&D(TM) if it was in a style to satisfy their TSR gameplay preference. The amount of funding generated on Kickstarter alone should be sending them a very clear message that TSR gamers are legion and have an interest in supporting their hobby.<br><br>This just adds further to the argument that they must support multiple editions.Kiltedyaksmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03462341093016199620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-43046769386962274962012-05-15T16:06:15.113-04:002012-05-15T16:06:15.113-04:00Good questions!
