So Mike Mearls did an AMA on the D&D subreddit.
My biggest takeaways:
- He hates the initiative system.
- If there is ever a 6th Edition and he's involved, he wants it to be seamlessly backwards compatible.
- And my favorite exchange:
Q: Is there anything that you see other people do in D&D that makes you cringe? I know it's all "to each their own," but do you find some common practice to be "wrong"?
A: The idea that the rulebook has all the answers and that the DM answers to it.
Some good stuff there, though. He's clearly the guy who was pushing for "rulings, not rules" in the D&D books, which I am totally cool with.
