[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 6468691, member: 27252"] I’m really happy with it. Looking back, I was frustrated with all previous editions for one reason or another - but this one makes me want to play without hesitation. I like the diversity in character options - which I suppose were there with 3E - combined with the simplicity of the rules - which, in a way, were there with 4E (or at least the 4E Essentials), whilst retaining the feel from earlier editions. It’s a complete package for me - with the only minor criticism of art direction, occasionally (choices for cover art, etc) being a really minor issue. I have a player in my group who is a die-hard 4E fan, and it gets irritating to hear his criticisms which largely amount to ‘it’s not the same as 4E’ (regardless of context). The observation I make in his case is that a) he has limited experience of playing anything other than D&D4E, and b) he’s invested so much in the 4E line that it’s hard to let it go. From my experience, the acceptance of 5E may take some time….but in terms of my preference and enthusiasm it’s been the best thing to happen to D&D for a long, long time. [/QUOTE]
