Half my characters are warlocks and I am very excited to try this version out. I run a game where all five characters are warlocks, and the players have all expressed excitement. Warlock fans on this board seem to be mostly negative. That doesn't equate to all warlock fans.

This would be easier for me to take. I'm torn on this subject. I have no objection to amping up the power of martial characters. I love the idea. More than that I believe that it is absolutely necessary. It's not a mechanical issue for me at all. It's more the case of a narrative problem. I...

Among the things that put me off on Darksun were... NPCs with a G in their alignment who were slave owners (better described as people who use force to make others work for them without compensation - you know Evil). A reading of the works of the Grimke sisters can illuminate as to how...

We ran 3e for years, but we disliked open ended ac and attack bonuses, and that's the version that inflated hit points to unreasonable levels. Also nit-picky fears that did little other than plug slots in a feat chain.

Quoted because this says what I've been thinking. I can no longer use any NPC stats in any books. Since D&D doesn't provide NPC write ups that are useful to me and I have to rebuild all the NPCs to give them character classes anyway, I've mostly stopped GMing D&D. I've been running Fantasy...

The first published D&D adventure I ever ran was Blackmoor in the original little brown book. Since 1978, my games have always included large amounts of science-fantasy.

I am interested in everything but Planescape, so I'm the outlier. I'll buy planescape if it has enough stuff not related to the Planescape setting, but Planescape is the only D&D setting I ever sold to used bookstore. Before anyone tries to explain why I should love it. I am a guy with a strong...

And if it were a boxed set, I wouldn't be buying it. I hated boxed sets back in the day and I've grown no fonder of them over the decades.

I will be buying the alt cover. I think it looks great.

None of my players care what Matt Colville has to say, but they know him.

We play D&D 5e and HERO. We will continue playing D&D 5e and HERO. I would prefer some form of OGL publishers can live with, but honestly as a player and a GM the existence or non-existence of such a license doesn't affect my gaming experience at all.

I will continue to buy new D&D 5e products when they come out. I will continue to buy 3 party products. If they are no longer written for D&D I will convert them for use with D&D. D&D 5e is the preferred level based system my group plays. I am the only one in the group who ever buys 3 party...

We rarely agree on this issues (not necessarily a bad thing) but on this issue we are in complete accord. I am uninterested in playing in a world that doesn't feel real to me outside the players' actions, and I am fundamentally incapable of running or designing a world like that.

I don't restrict anything in any game and all but two of the players build characters based on story, background and the world they're playing in. One of the others just likes weird concepts and the other builds the same basic two characters over and over again. As a player, I won't play in a...

I don't, but I usually buy them.

And I despise it. To each their own, I suppose.

I'm not really a DL fan. I'm sure that WotC will have enough sense not to exclude popular core options when writing DL, so I'll probably buy it. My enthusiasm wanes with each pro-exclusion post I read, however.

I went with yes, but every time I see a post about how WOTC should exclude classes and races from the setting, the less likely I am to buy it.

This is what I was getting at in another thread when I said I don't want to see 4e style martial powers in 5e. I want fighters to be able to use a wide variety of maneuvers at will. No resource management needed. Of course some posters here on ENWORLD think that somehow means limiting...

For my group this is the biggest problem with 5e. My kids read 3e and 2e, then talked me into writing save or die effects back into 5e.
