I voted too limiting because once you choose a subclass you dont really have too many options to customize and shape your character. You could say this is problem really with the feat system that is outshined by Stat increases and gives quite a few number of feats (and doesnt really kick unto...

I dont like racial ASIs - they just dramatically narrow the types of archetypes. But I like racial feats, so Id like to see more racial feat choices for each race. But I also dislike the ASI/feat tradeoff. I would like to see them unlinked and there be more feats both racial and normal -...

I would not even think about getting involved in such a petty matter. Those undead and demons are not going to slay themselves.

We had a bard who (continually) riffed songs and poems off his traits etc to get the DM to give inspiration. As a group we had to make choice between having bards or inspiration in future campaigns and having bards won.

My experience is from three campaigns where the highest level we got to was 8th. I am enjoying it a lot. I do think I would like a bit more optimization and customisation choices - especially for the martial types - 4e changed my perspective on what these types of classes can be quite a bit. But...

Agree. I have been playing a lot of non D&D games the past year or so I have come to realise that the dailies/spells per day thing is pretty much just a D&D thing. Many games dont have it for any characters and there one less level of meta gaming as a result. But as others have noted this is...

I would vote for the feywild/shadowfell/astral sea approach to the planes.

I will be ready for something new in 4 years. Either a 5.5 or 6E. I would like it to be close to 5e but I think I would like to see a few 5e game elements re thought (especially feats) and high level play more well thought out.

From 1e to 3e I was the DM 90% of the time but I have never been the DM for 4e or 5e.

I am not interested in 3D stuff but I agree that Roll20 and FG are a bit primitive. With regards to Roll20 I think it is gets most of things right but I would really like to see initiative tracker that works properly and a character sheet that works better (more along the lines of D&D Beyond).

Pretty sure that is a reference to Tom's band "Rage against the Machine"!

I have seen many new players confused by this in 5e especially when the variable number of spell slots is included. I wish that every spell could have effects depending on the level of the caster, so that you could learn Fire as spell and at first level you can cast burning hands and at 5th...

4e is only edition other than 1e where I killed Orcus - so thumbs up from me! For me 4e was D&D was taken to its natural conclusion in terms of creating a heroic game with long standing tropes like fighters being meat shields being taken to its full (mechanical) extension. I get the criticisms...

I DMed a Jester in 1e and it was the most annoying class I have ever played with. Once he had a wand of wonder it was intolerable. I actually assassinated the character in question (and 30 years later I still feel OK about it). Another dragon magazine class that always seemed lame to me was the...

I had a fumble/critical fail house rule in 3e and it was a critical fail

I quite miss using an action to spend a healing surge/hit dice in combat. Because I dont see hp as meat I dont have any dissonance with the mechanic. I also like the tactical choice to do so.

Always. If I DM I would give an extra feat at first level.

I dont have a rush for 6e but I would eventually like to see: more character options at lower levels where feats are more for breadth rather the depth. more tactical options for martial types more options and out of turn attacks and surprises for monsters (especially solos). All directed...

In a world of monsters I think being an adventurer would be a real job! So not unheard of.

This may breech rule 2. But after 4e (But before 5e) I probably would have advocated for creating a system with only encounter/scene abilities and spells. That game showed that "Daily" abilities and spells were not the only way D&D could function. Of course 5e has sucked me back into the fun of...
