More D&D Next Goals

Mike Mearls has a very interesting new article on design goals for D&D Next. He gives an overview of what would be included in the basic rules package, and hints at what would be reserved for add-on modules. The basic rules sound a lot like Basic D&D from the old days, and Mearls specifically references that product in his article. I remain cautiously optimistic about the end result, especially after the major steps forward in the last playtest packet.
