[QUOTE="Zehnseiter, post: 8551207, member: 7030431"] Yea did buy and play lot of d20 stuff back then. The end result was that it burned me out of 3E faster then usual for a D&D Edition. And 5E is a edition that is based on feeling familiar and often republishing stuff that was already there instead of doing new and fresh stuff so tired of it faster then with other D&D editions. I am already basically done with the edition and currently play other games. So a glut of games that just badly distort their original game engines to the 5E rule set to make a quick profit from D&D's large player base is especially unwelcome to me. I can understand that this makes economical sense for a game company. There is a segment of gamers that are fine with playing one system all of the time and never really tire of it. D&D is the largest RPG by far so it has the biggest numbers of players who play it all the time. So if a company you can tape that customer base with a 5E version of their game then I a mostly fine. I even like if the 5E version finances further stuff for the original game. What I loathe is when the 5E version kills the original game or if you only get a 5E version. The later one especially is just dead of creativity. System matters and influence how you play a game. And 5E/d20 versions of other rule sets always lose something of their own in the conversion. So in summary I can life Dr. Who 5E as long as it doesn't kill the original game line and I loathe announcements like for the Dark Souls RPG where we will only get a ill-fitting 5E version for a game whose computer game inspiration doesn't play like D&D 5E at all.
