[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 6406180, member: 55491"] I started playing d&d in 1979 and when 3e came out I was still good friends with all my roleplaying friends but we didn't play much, maybe 10-20 times a year. What we did play was other games (Runequest - mainly) or a heavily houseruled version of AD&D (1e). When 3e came out its new style and mechanics was like a breath of fresh air. I grabbed a 2e campaign ( I guess it would be called an adventure path now) called Night Below and started running it fortnightly, then weekly converting it on the fly for a bunch of old time role players. 6 years later we had finished the campaign and the survivors retired their 21st level characters. It was great. But I would never go that high in 3e again, but the joy of playing had been re-ignited. We play weekly and have 3 roleplaying weekends a year. When 4e came along we were still 3e converts so I dabbled but never really embraced it, we weren't ready. now we still play weekly but a bit of savage worlds, some pendragon and heavily houseruled ( never above about level 14 cos it sucks ) 3.5/pathfinder variant. I think I am looking for that change. I have played a bit of the starter set but that's just a taste. I am the usual GM for our group and to be honest where I go I suspect they will follow. I have a yearning to grab a 3.5 adventure path ( probably one of the Dungeon ones because WOTBS has a savage worlds conversion I would like to try out) convert it to 5e and start another multi year campaign. We are not ready yet, need the DMG, but next year... how are you going to experience it? adventurers league? convert a published adventure? a published 5e adventure ? convert your homebrew campaign? start a new homebrew?
