[QUOTE="Xetheral, post: 7805245, member: 6802765"] I'm firmly of the belief that 5e can handle a wide variety of both playstyles and DMing styles, and I think its ability to do so is evidenced by the wide variety of both types of styles described by posters on this forum who also report success using 5e. Even within this thread there have been sharp differences in posters' preferred styles amongst posters who prefer to play 5e. Similarly, I think it's easily possible to approach 5e (or any game system) as "its own distinct thing" with regards to playstyle and DMing style. Many posters in this thread report great success from doing so, even if I might quibble as to how specificially a "5e default" playstyle or DMing style can be inferred from the rules text. But I think it's equally possible to approach 5e (or any game system) as a potential tool for running a campaign with a particular combination of styles already in mind. That's what I do, and 5e has been the most useful such tool I've found so far for running fantasy campaigns in the playstyle and DMing style I prefer. [/QUOTE]
