D&D's lack of direction, and the TRUTH behind the next edition of D&D (The Rules Lawyer)
1,519D&D has scrapped the One D&D label for its next edition, and is now calling it... Fifth Edition! WOTC is now having a crisis with its player base which I predicted would happen a long time ago once it was clear they might go this route.
Also includes The DM Lair's interview of Stephen Glicker and Mark Seifter of Roll for Combat, where they reveal why WOTC is making this "not a new edition" edition. (Link to that interview below.)
