I have a strong hunch that I won't buy into D&D 6E.  I'm definitely not buying into Pathfinder 2E.  So, the question is; what is the plan?

Stick to the OSR and to the games you love.  Look between the D&D hacks and B/X that the guys behind the Wormskin zines had done there really isn't much point to buy 6th edition D&D whenever that comes out.  I mean there should already be a company out there making a 5th edition alternative if WotC goes 6th just like how Pathfinder was made when there was D&D 4th edition.

GURPS 5e. I fully expect it either in the next 30 years or never. My golden years never looked so bright!

That's a big hypothetical...but most likely I'll go back to 2E long term, though short term I hope to try the Wendy's RPG next year, starting January with any luck.

Only racists and misogynists won't devote themselves to the woke perfection of 6e. In fact, by then it will be xoke to reflect its extra Xokeness and get rid of that pesky "w" which starts too many problematic words.

As for my future games, I plan to play what I write and publish...once I finish the damn things!!

Where did they announce 6e? I can't find any concrete details. This surprises me as I didn't think they ever would make a sixth edition.

I'll keep playing the games I'm already playing.

Yeah, this.

I really haven't seen a lot of useful innovation from newer games.

Is 6E coming out anytime soon? Last I heard it was still a ways off.

Like white?

If I was currently using D&D 5e, I'd just stick with that.

One of the many, many game systems I already own.  Based on "Sage" Advice and their twitter rules judgments I don't want to purchase a system built by Mearls or Crawford.

Greetings!

Well, everything I have read seems to indicate that WOTC is quite happy with how 5E is going, and have no plans on doing a 6E anytime soon. In some quote from Mike Mearls himself, he said any new edition at this point would easily be several years off into the future, and at present they are not even considering producing a 6E.

So, beyond that chewy thing, I'm not worried about 6E. I think 5E is fine. I also like old school OSR stuff, ala AD&D. Having said that, I would certainly be opposed to putting more stupid SJW nonsense into the game, or any hypothetical new edition. As you mentioned, KingCheops, Crawford is definitely a questionable game designer, given his particular ideology, and I fear that Mearls has drank the Kool-Aid as well.

Semper Fidelis,

LMAO at this, a fully woke "D&D" would be tossed in the trash if someone gave it to me(just to make sure that a child in my family was not exposed to it). I surely would not buy it. I haven't needed any new games in a very long time.
