New submitter lrsach01 writes "Wizards of the Coast has announced a 'new iteration' of their Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. Early information says the game will be more inclusive, with a basic rule set that 'builds out.' This Spring, WotC will be 'conducting ongoing open playtests with the gaming community to gather feedback on the new iteration of the game as we develop it.'"

Wizards of the Coast has announced they need more money because everyone who plays d&d has already bought all their old books.
So now it's time to obsolete everything again and make them start over.

Started playing again recently after a long (15 year) break from gaming, and I have to say it has been a lot of fun.

In other news, Wizards of the Coast is acquired by Houghton Mifflin. A statement by the company said they were proud of Wizards for putting out new editions so often but that if they shuffled around some tables and charts they could get a new edition out every year.
