[QUOTE="Warpiglet, post: 7799121, member: 6689161"] People have different opinions surely about a wide variety of things. But reading the OP has me feeling like an alien on an alien world. Playing AD&D 1st and a bit of third, I have never been so inspired as I am now. The core books are great. Xanathars Volos and mordenkainens are fabulous. I have interest in salt marsh and avernus. The cartoony stuff and realms lore holds little interest. But I am really thrilled with the roleplaying and character diversity in the game which actually has fairly good balance. There is some mystery again without magic shops and the ability to automatically whip up a magic item of choice. I will simply beg to differ. I have never made cooler characters from a roleplaying perspective. The backgrounds really help inspire complexity when paired with racial and class diversity. Even crazier, I like to DM more than ever and have written up a campaign world... I find 5e invigorating. The acquisitions stuff and the realms in general are turn offs. But if wotc wants to get me to buy another edition they're going to have to wait. There is so much untapped story making potential in the releases I mentioned that I have years of use and inspiration still to come. I don't feel like we have scratched the surface. [/QUOTE]
