I'm talking about Dungeons and Dragons. And when a new edition is coming up in the history of D&D there are always a lot of rumors, different opinions and critiques (I remember when the 3rd edition comes out, and when it was replaced by 3,5... and when the 4th edition kills D&D! A The Nerdy Soap Opera!)
I was talking with MortiS about this news on Failbook and when I though I'd must to write something here, It was already too late, he wrote the fateful words:
This edition (declared Wotc) will make happy every type of player, because each player of the same party could use a different approach to the rules (more or less old school style) without unbalancing the game (I don't / won't imagine how).
The development of this edition will be based on the feedback of the players, I think feedback is a great thing if ANY kind of player can improve the game with his help, but I must to quote MortiS again to summarize my fear:
The last official announcement is that it will be released a basic set, gradually expanded with with other stuff, this could be a good thing (D&D red box... the expert set... the companion and so on!
), but it could be a bad thing (D&D 4th edition approach to new releases).
If anyone is interested to the topic and if anyone find out something else, MUST write something here!

Wotc official announced that 5th edition is on the way. I've read on the web some official rumors too, someone even tried an early super secret alpha version.
