[QUOTE="schneeland, post: 8406498, member: 6900337"] I voted "generally no", but that's not completely accurate. I think combat in D&D5 is ok. Most of the time not exceptionally great or interesting, but a nice change of pace and often at least mildly entertaining. And the ~25 years I have played D&D also mean that a) I am familiar enough with the rules to not require constant page flipping and b) the game contains a number of iconic monsters that I'm quite fond of - it's always nice to see a beholder, a mimic or mind flayer appear. The real downside is that my dice seem to have learned about my lackluster enthusiasm for the current edition and now constantly roll bad in combat to retaliate ;) Closing note: I will still play D&D with the right people and I do enjoy the game. It's mostly that, if I have a choice, I'd rather play other games (some of them, like DCC, being basically D&D offspring, others, like Forbidden Lands, at least fairly close to old-school D&D).
