Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 8752283" data-attributes="member: 6796661">I played Red Box D&D and AD&D 1e starting in the early/mid 80s, skipped 2, 3, 3.5, and 4, and started playing again with 5e. I've really loved 5e but would appreciate a few tweaks here and there. I'm cautiously optimistic about One D&D.  If it gives some new options, has some new ideas for making aspects of game easier to run, and provides increasingly useful digital tools--all while allowing me to continue to run years worth of adventuring and setting material I've bought and a homebrewed--then I'm all in. I've never felt abandoned or ignored by WotC as an older player and appreciate them making a game that rekindled my love for TTRPGs. Now, if they change the game so much that it makes all my existing material unplayable with the new rule, I'll just stick to 5e with some home-rules. I've bought enough material to keep my playing into retirement. But from what I've seen so far, it doesn't look like that will be the case. Note that this is all from the perspective of a DM. As a player, I'll play whatever rules the DM is using. If I like the DM and his or her style, I rarely find that the rules get in the way of my enjoyment of playing. Glad I missed all the earlier edition wars. I find it hard to relate. The only gaming-related battles that challenge me are finding the time to game as much as I would like.</blockquote>
