[QUOTE="ccooke, post: 8447756, member: 6695890"] Look, you can't take the result of this thread as any sort of endorsement about [I]anything[/I]. This is a bit of fun with a group of people who have different opinions. The winner is determined by chance (when people are online, how many of them vote for amusement and how many for tactics, etc) as much as anything else. What's more, it is all about what people prefer [I]Subjectively[/I]. 5e is my favourite edition and I will happily argue that it deserves a good reputation. But it is not without faults, and many of them were obvious from day one. In my very subjective opinion, the good far outweighs the bad but there is no world in which that would be true for everyone. Honestly, I don't think we can even have a good discussion about what is the objectively best D&D. There is no such thing without a massive set of caveats to decide what "objective best" actually means, and I don't believe that any statistically significant sample of this or pretty much any other fan community would ever be able to agree on such a thing. Even if we could, it would be very difficult to have such a discussion and keep it positive. There are a lot of (quite reasonable) sore spots and triggers that would make such a thing very difficult. Frankly I'm very pleasantly surprised with how this thread has gone. [/QUOTE]
