[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 5948989, member: 16586"] I was pretty happy with the way 5e was shaping up based on the initial offering of the play test, but that was back when I assumed the material we were presented was the most conservative version of the game we would see and that the game's audience as a whole would be willing to compromise to an extent where we might actually be able to sit at the same game tables again. What I've seen from WotC and the community since feedback has started to come in shows a lack of willingness to embrace elements of the game that might bring us back together. What I'm seeing is a preference towards ghettoizing elements of the community that prefer elements of 4e towards optional rules without providing them additional value. I'll be sticking around for at least one more iteration of the play test rules, but if I don't see some legitimate give and take I'll probably write off the next edition and look more towards games that allow the sort of narrative play I prefer like 4e, FATE, FantasyCraft, RuneQuest with the right dials, Burning Wheel, etc. I'm not on board for the second coming of 3e.
