My favourite edition is currently 3.5e, which I enjoy a great deal, but I am also only too aware of its weaknesses. Consequently, I'm not really satisfied - I want better.I have two expectations from 5e:- It has to be distinctly D&D. Other game styles are absolutely fine for what they are, but I'm looking for a replacement for 3.5e, so I want it to do the same things, but better.- It needs to be significantly better than 3.5e, good enough to compel me to switch. Moreover, it pretty much needs to do that in the core - if I have to mess about with a whole load of modules (which I read as "official house rules") then I'm almost certainly not interested.And that's it. Meet those two admittedly intangible and subjective goals and anything else is open for discussion. Fail to meet either of them, and it doesn't matter how good the rest of the game is; it hasn't done what I want it to do.(I do, of course, have ideas as to how I think it might best achieve those goals. But I'm not absolutely wedded to them. If they ignore everything I say, but meet my requirements, I'm in - I'm happy to admit it when I'm wrong. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )</blockquote>
