Will 5e be the final edition of D&D with continous support or will there be another edition in the future? I really don't like doing a new edition. IMO, new editions of D&D would focus on cleaning up trouble spots, applying lessons learned in design, and sticking to the core elements that made a thing successful in the first place.

Will there be an epic tier for 5e (levels beyond 20)? Will there be an epic tier for 5e (levels beyond 20)? Do you think the straightforward nature of character building in 5e would make it harder or easier to design?

What are your processes to make up an encounter on the fly? CommentWhat are your personal processes for when you find you need to make up an encounter on the fly?I usually throw stuff at the players with CR in mind - if it's something on the fly that's just meant to be a quick fight, I use creatures with a CR at about half or less of the party's level, no more than 3 - 5 critters.

What is best in life? Take many naps. Eat nachos whenever you can but not so often that you become the guy people know as the dude who eats nachos at every meal. Roll many natural 20s. These are what is best in life.Comment from discussion D&D AMA with Mike Mearls and Chris Lindsay 1/15.
