However, those opportuniries have been more plentiful for me in 5e than they were previously.I really enjoy 5e as a player; I don't give two whits about massive amounts of crunchy options, so I had a blast playing warlocks, thieves, and fighters (I seriously dislike 5e's Wizard; IMO it's easily the worst class in the edition and I've actually just disallowed it in campaigns I've run). I think warlocks should have access to martial weapons by default and I think Eldritch Blast is a plague upon the world, but I really dug my fighters and my Thief character was the best experience I've had playing D&D in like 20 years. It helped that the AL games where I was playing had FANTASTIC DMs, and we had a really good group of players too (I poached a few for my own campaigns). I think 5e is too complicated mechanically while also being kind of uninspiring mechanically in many ways, but those issues don't really come up much as a player IMO. My first and greatest love will always be as a GM, but as it turns out 5e rocks from both sides of the screen.</blockquote>
