Yeah I definitely prefer the 2014 background rules. Just because you were an Acolyte or a Mage's assistant doesn't mean you progressed far enough to learn cantrips & a spell.
Will probably meet at FLGS Alpha Omega Hobby or one of the Battleground Games locations on weekends.
Interested in running 5e D&D Eberron or one of Sine Nomine's Without Number games.
