[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5979097, member: 5100"] I am overjoyed by anything that keeps the hobby alive and prospers it. Define "try". I'm more than willing to give it a shot. We played 4e for 2-3 months before deciding it wasn't a good fit. I see no reason not to give 5e the same courtesy, other than that the play test will probably serve the same purpose. If it turns out to be a game that isn't as fun as something else, I don't have brand loyalty of the sort that would cause me to play the second-best game in a genre. Yes. Absolutely. They have bosses, though, who may be great or may be another Lorraine Williams. Only time will tell. Hasbro obviously doesn't have contempt for games, in general. Whether they "get" table-top RPGs well enough is an open question, though. It may be a moot point, if the CRPG market weakens the TTRPG market sufficiently. After gaming for 30 years, the preference for AD&D vs 3e vs 4e seems petty. To me, AD&D still defines the kernel of D&D. Whatever comes after that must respect it in more ways than just name. But, I'd rather see people playing a TTRPG that isn't what I consider D&D rather than see the hobby die. I may not play at your table, but that probably doesn't say anything about my feelings toward the people present. If 5e is fun and suits my needs/style, I'll absolutely choose it. If I don't care for it, I'll be playing Shadowrun, WoD, or something of the sort. I wouldn't play 3e or 4e again. I won't knock your choice, but you'll find me as scarce around here as I was during the 4e run. I spent several years struggling with 3e and trying to "make it work" before realizing that I just didn't care for it. I won't do that again. I don't have nearly enough recreation time to waste any of it not having fun. [/QUOTE]
