My current RPGing group has been playing a 1E AD&D campaign for a few months. This year members of our group have played tons of RPGs and other games, with one another and out on our own. We're a collection of hardcore gamers who mostly manage to get some gaming in several times a week and all get out to local and regional conventions and gamedays. This year alone, I've played in games of The One Ring RPG, Myths & Magic (2E retroclone), OD&D, 1E AD&D, 3.5E, TSR's Conan (1985), and others.
Our group discussed the coming of 5E D&D and opted to take a break from our ongoing campaign to snag the Starter Set when Games Plus got it in last week and run it through Gen Con (or just after) to get a good idea of how it will play and feel. I've got more of the details on my blog here but I'm happy to discuss things in this thread and I'll update as we go along.
We have also grabbed the 5E Basic Rules from online and will use those to clarify and add to our experience. If something in the Basic Rules is meant to replace something in the Starter Set, we're opting to stick with the Starter Set rules.
