[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6345919, member: 22424"] Like with everything else, some people will hate it, some will dislike it, some will be ambivalent, some will kinda like it, and some will love it. Very likely, even those who like or love it will find some particular aspects that they really like, some they kinda like, and some that leave them cold. Indeed, they may love the game overall but still find some things they absolutely hate. The best thing to do is probably to find reviews from people you trust and see what they say. Or, of course, download the free Basic rules and see for yourself - especially once they've been expanded with monsters and magic items and so become a complete (albeit small) game. WotC, to their enormous credit, have made it really easy to try their new edition. Beyond that, why worry what other people think? If you like 5e, play 5e; if you like 4e, or PF, or 3e, or DCC, or Star Wars, or Savage Worlds, or... play that. The only way it really affects you is if the sales are bad... but since the Starter Set has already gone for a second printing, that suggests it's not a problem. :) [/QUOTE]
