[QUOTE="Guest 6948803, post: 8214625"] Thanks for all the replies. I am in little different situation, because where I live, D&D was never big, and WFRP occupied place of being "rpg everyone starts with". It leads to several fun side effects (like, dungeons are particularly unpopular play style, and mystery/investigation is actually default I think). Anyway, for me, moving from quickly bloating 3 edition was a necessity (I think half of my players would pass of another 3rd ed campaign) and 4th ed was never an option (to be honest, I think those who say 'with better digital support it would fare better' or "it was released too early" deceive themselves a bit - for a lot of people /myself included/ 4th edition was too far removed from our typical rpg to even consider.) However, maybe because I started with mix od 1st and 2nd edition, and enjoyed 2nd edition for a quite few years, 5e was a hit for me - super easy to run, well supported game with huge sentimental value.
