[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 7659057, member: 10479"] First off, "[b]BUT this goes beyond my point that in this day and age bad press is persistent. It's always there and not just part of a news cycle. Pages of the Internet aren't used to wrap fish the day after they are read and forgotten.[/b]" But honestly, what I know from my own experience is that 5E is a mixed bag. What I've read of the bad (some of which doesn't apply to me) includes bad bindings on books, large sections of adventures that seem like padding or badly written, playtesting that could have benefited from OGC solutions if the OGL were being used, a game hyped as being the new old school that really has too many new schoolisms to pull it off, etc. The list of complaints and critiques is much larger than that but those are just a few examples. I love your enthusiasm, Wegdeski, but making this about the hype is missing the point in a way I don't expect from you. If I wanted "Four legs good, two legs better" I could click on the first or second result of a web search. :D [/QUOTE]
