[QUOTE="Older Beholder, post: 7521338, member: 6813585"] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=UICTFontTextStyleBody]If your players haven't played older editions (or any TTRPG) they won't be comparing it to anything, so don't worry too much about that. If you're concerned about it feeling like a video game, just emphasise what makes RPGs great, I'm sure the things that you loved last time you played can be given new life via a new edition. And if you still don't enjoy it you can always get the older editions for cheap and just play that. Personally though I think 5E is as easy as the game has been for new players to pick up. Also I just wanted to mention that I have played an Elderitch knight, (gnome) and I thought they were a great class, with action surge, second wind, some evocation magic like mm and shield added on top. He was MVP most fights. Fun, easy to run and effective.
