[QUOTE="Ace, post: 7922882, member: 944"] D&D 5E plays a bit differently than older editions in that its leans heavily into the PC's being protagonists in a story rather than regular guys more than any other edition. 0E thru I don't know maybe 2E had a strong Alea iacta [I]est[/I] , let the die fall where it may ethos but this has faded in line with gaming preferences over the years. 2E was woerd in that the rules had strong "sudden death" elements but there was a lot of social play in kits and the crazy amount of fluff that permeated the supplements These days few few people would enjoy roll everything random even hit points , sudden death the player's skill counts more than the dice style of the old days so the 5E rules while still recognizable as D&D , reflect the more modern preferences in rules and in style Frankly I think 5E is rather good and more fun to me than 3x though I don't get to play as much as I'd like. I don't know about running, never done it [/QUOTE]
