I would like to make one complaint: The font they picked for the body text has characters with an inconsistent height. For example "s" is taller than most other lower-case characters, "t" is shorter than "i", etc. Nitpicky but it is a little awkward to read for me.

Here's one for you: The grid combat sidebar has 4e-style 1-square diagonals as the default for movement. Of course it does mention a more realistic option in the DMG...

Yeah, that is a bit depressing.

I have noticed all through the playtest that most reactions are pretty powerful.

Something about "Gift Horses" here.

Rogues get 2 more expertise at 6th. Human alternate option to "all +1s" is +1 to two stats, a skill, and a feat.

Yeah don't worry about it, just teasing. I like that description for Neutral alignment. Hustle" renamed to "Dash" it seems

Should the eventual downtime rules not cover it, I would probably treat such things like I do secondary skills in 4e (stuff that was covered by the old 3e craft/profession skills). There's no real hard cap on how many you can learn, but they don't generally duplicate existing skills. If you're...

I think I see sasquatch in that first one. <squints> Maybe. Nope, just a Mountain Dew stain.

"The silent majority." of RPGs. I have two primary gaming groups. One is mostly newer-school who love 4e. The other is mostly older-school who preferred 1e and 2e but are happy enough playing 4e. That group may make the switch to 5e. Maybe I'm lucky but all the people I game with have engaging...
