IF They Ask Me....

So WOTC is looking for players to tell them what they want in the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons. If they asked me I would gladly tell them what I want. I want D&D to be wild , mysterious and even a little bit creepy. I want the artwork to reflect that style. I would like the books to be like ancient tomes, not how to guides. I want them not care about upsetting people and not shy away from some material. I want the game to feel like an experience not an activity. I do not want some over hyped , one in every store, mass marketed, spoon fed, bubble wrapped, safe version of the game.

I WANT IT TO BE LIKE A HAUNTED HOUSE , NOT A FUN HOUSE.

That's what I would say if they asked me.

  1. not sure who they are or what they will ask you, but love that banner. Those Game Science dice are looking good.

  2. Sorry I am still writing the post. I hit the return button by accident. Those are my orignal dice that I bought back in '81. They have no stamp so I don't know if they are Gamescience or not.

  3. I signed up for the closed playtest. In fact, my non-discloser pact, signed in blood (not my blood) to solemnly swear not to tell everyone I am rolling dice. I'm curious to see what the 5th edition plans to be. I really hope its more on what you've described than the past edition.

  4. For us mere mortals (non playtesters) we can only hope and wait.
