I asked a question about D&D 5th Ed, but since it has only just been announced, details are scarce, and so it doesn't seem to have a definitive answer at the moment. However, more information should be released in the next few months such as to make it an answerable question.
How should we d...
They're never going to do anything like the OGL ever again, I'm almost positive of that.
There was such a flood of poor quality 3rd party content it's not even funny.
Books by the company 'Fast Forward Games' was the worst of this bunch. I think they're still in the budget bin of my old store, and those were written for 3.0.
They didn't even move when priced 2 for 1.
And Mongoose Press putting out Quintessential X Class books every ten minutes.
"What will happen with DDI subscriptions and online content for 4e?" is relevant long term because it deals with ongoing 4e support post 5e launch...but it may not have a certain answer for 6 months...
Yesterday I had the privilege of losing my Holy Symbol to a story point. (We all lost everything but our clothes.) How can I determine what powers, if any, I can use without my Holy Symbol?
I've now looked through some meta discussions from Gaming.SE and SciFi.SE about future releases, release dates and rumours. The general consensus is that they are generally not very useful. Some of the arguments don't entirely apply here, but I think the best point came from Jeff Atwood:

With a new edition of D&D releasing next year (5e) what will happen to the online content for 4e?
Will wizards continue to offer subscription services for 4th edition support, make those services public or stop them entirely?
@BrianBallsunStanton I'm also stealing parts from Mouseguard, namely nature. Your highest stat is one of your natures, the others relate to your alignment, class and race. Level increase is done by increasing that nature
@MadMAxJr I think they wanted with 4e to get to "continuous release" - not a 5e, but a foreverE they mutate like WoW using DDI. I hope they don't keep going that way
You can even consider it mechanically - things of the Fire element probably have higher minimum effect because the effect range is short (thus demanding more dice), while Water element has a wide range of effect since the range is a full 20.
Earth as an element would have to represent stability perhaps? Unlike the other dice you don't risk as much but also don't have the chance of excessive gain?
The range of a d6 isn't as much as the others, but it would be reliable if nothing bad happens on a given roll. Aside from simply being low.
