Do we want other new/old/returning players that the announcement of 5e has brought here to Enworld to walk into world war 5? I don't. I want to welcome them and dwell on the warm fuzzy feeling tickling my toes as I imagine the hobby growing, swelling and spreading throughout the earth to spark the imaginations of children worldwide ... ehem ... sorry about that.Where was I?Ah, yes. Constructive... why can't we aim for every thread/discussion to become a constructive creative process. We are a bunch of people who all LOVE using our imaginations to play games. That's a great place to start. A great thing to have in common. So why can't we let our differences in experience, taste and preferences send us down a path where we come up with some cool ideas.Given, at the moment til we see the 'base/core' WotC has come up with, it will be a largely recreational activity. But as my history teacher used to say, you have to find the diamonds in the bucket of .... oh you know, the bucket of ... the stuff that was in the bucket in the 20ftx20ft room ...  the one with the goblin with the bucket in the corner full of ... with the key at the bottom? You never been in that room? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />So this is me, advocating finding diamonds in the bucket. And being chilled, friendly, open and self-critical while we do it.And no ... lets not settle for mediocre.</blockquote>
