3.x/Pathfinder is my favorite. I'm still reading through 5E and like Danny, I'm not going to make a final judgement on it until all 3 core books are out. So far I like a lot of what I'm reading in 5E, but every now and then I'll come across something that makes me cringe.

I'm not returning in that I'm *playing* 5E, but I am *reading* 5E after skipping 4E completely. I'm still not sure about it (I'm liking some things, not liking other things). I intend to wait until I've read the DMG to make up my mind how I feel about the edition as a whole.

The article really seems to be much ado about nothing - in that after reading it, my reaction is...nothing. I can see how his point would be relevant in one context - if you want to create a story-based RPG, then don't worry about game-balancing mechanics. Beyond that, I'm not sure it's really...

I certainly don't know what Paizo's internal vision is for it, but mine is more like the 3E version of Unearthed Arcana rather than a Bo9S.

If I went the 5E route, it would be because I didn't want to have to buy digital tools, so I'd only use them if they were free.

Yes, I will be getting it (like exile, it's as part of my subscription). It's unlikely to be useful to me at the moment (I'm not homebrewing), but my hope is that it will be good for random unique encounters.

I wonder how 5E will play out over the 20 levels. The thing about D&D prior to 5E and Pathfinder now is that the experience is vastly different at 1st level than at 20th level. 5E seems to be making the experience more similar. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing will certainly be...

I've only been a player in two - Rise of the Runelords (original 3.5 version) and Serpent's Skull. I enjoyed Runelords more, but only to the 2nd module before a TPK. We did finish Serpent's Skull, but while I liked parts of it, I can't recommend it.

I use The Lost Lands (Frog God Games world).

I have high hopes for it too - as long as the rules play nicely with existing Pathfinder products.

Nice!!!

I'm guessing no one because the team has already been reduced to a bare minimum.

Man....Scott Greene is *powerful*!

OK, you got me on that one. :) But APART from being a book, I have no expectations.... OK, APART from being a book, having text (in English) and artwork, being 320 pages, and being about D&D, I have no expectations.

It will totally exceed my expectations - as I have none for it. :)

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Pathfinder Unchained. However, I am at the point where I really they would rather use the rules (setting stuff, etc.) than create new ones. The only exception is epic rules, which I would like to see from Paizo. The Mythic rules are too...

Yeah, I don't intend to make a final judgement on 5E until I see this book.

It's really a mega-sandbox. Very minimal plot, and totally dependent on character actions. You can tinker with it as much as you like - or not at all. You can download the first chapter for free to see if it's something you'd like to see more of... (Although the full book is the way to go if...

I like Paizo's model of correcting errata/making changes in each new printing of the core book but also providing a PDF of those changes. As long as WotC keeps up their basic rules document with the latest info, no need to buy a new PH, although a "what has changed" document would certainly be...

Have you seen/run Slumbering Tsar? I've had to make zero changes - it's a blast. Easiest GMing I've ever had.
