[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 5905772, member: 59096"] They(the 5E design team) started off with a strong "we're sorry for 4E vibe" and pandering to those with a grudge against the most recent edition, but that tone has softened considerably over time though still present at times. They've also shown some signs of listening to concerns raised by the 4E community, which is reassuring. They have also demonstrated a lack of understanding about what the 4E community wants out of D&D, particularly Monte, but he's gone now and they at least seem to be listening. Also reassuring are glimses of modern design, if you read closely into what they are saying. It seems more like a new beginning than a return to AD&D or 3E. I was of the opinion that Monte Cook was a negative influence on the design of 5E, and am relieved at his departure. My biggest concern remains that they've bitten off more than they can chew, either resulting in a watered down game that appeals to nobody, a clunky frankenstein's monster of mismatched parts, or have underestimated the immaturity and hatred amongst the wider D&D community.
