I have some good news and bad news about D&D Next (Fifth Edition).
First, the bad news. The game's lead designer, Monte Cook, has resigned his position at Wizards of the Coast for reasons that he has declined to reveal. Long-time D&D players may remember Monte as one of the architects of Third Edition. I've been a fan of Monte's work for a long time, so I can't see this development as anything but a negative for the future of 5e.
The good news, at least, is that the open playtest of 5e begins on May 24. That's right, we're less than a month away from seeing the first public draft of Fifth Edition! I hope some Front Porch folks will be able to help me give the rules a test drive.
For more on both of these stories, see the official Wizards release from D&D head honcho, Mike Mearls.
