[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 8363028, member: 6667921"] It only took me two days to read through the entire thread to date, and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the majority of it. It is good to be able to read unemotional and rational critiques of these editions, and regret how we could have not had the same types of well-tempered and meaningful discussions while the edition I loved was still relevant. There is a lot of 4e DNA built into the current edition, but I don't think the two are all that much alike. They may share some similarities, the way all editions of D&D have with each other. But the fundamental differences in their respective designs and philosophies are as different as night and day. For example, 4e showcases the encounter as the heart of the game session, while 5e places emphasis on the overall campaign experience. And there are many other fine points already made in this thread, so I won't try to revisit them. I like 5e, but I don't love it. And I love 4e, but I don't like it. If I could somehow combine the two, I think I would have the perfect edition for me. [/QUOTE]
