Think what you will of the Fourth (and current) Edition of Dungeons and Dragons' Fourth Edition, but it's getting an overhaul. Publishers Wizards of the Coast have announced that work is well underway on printing a Fifth Edition (possibly releasing 2013) and this time they're trying to crowdsource some of the rules. In other words, they've put out a call to the general public to discuss and share what they like and don't like about the current edition, what they've liked about editions in the past, what rules or mechanics you wish the game could have, et cetera. Using a model not unlike what goes on with the publishing of video games, there will be open beta testing starting this Spring and an early playtest of the current set of 5th edition rules will be available at the D&D Experience January 26 - 29, 2012. Interested in signing up for the open playtest this Spring? CLICK HERE for the official information and sign-up page (scroll down for the button to sign up).
