[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 6171558, member: 6701124"] I was going to post that I didn't think the second sentence after each bullet was that Barnummy, and how we are supposed to bring "truths" about previous editions into interpreting things (3e has more complicated NPC construction, 4e has every class with power gaining in parallel, etc...). But now I'm trying to come up with particular examples of how that applies to each statement and can't do it... I think you're right. The early "[COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]This phase of the playtest was all about nailing the feel of [/FONT][/COLOR][B]D&D" [/B]sure seems to be setting us up for it. It had me thinking "races, classes, mechanics, and campaign world that fit with everything that ran from B/X through 3.5 and not 4." and it colored how I read everything that came after. Nothing in this one changes my view toward 5e though. Just like any other game I haven't done before, I'll play it if someone in our group wants to DM it, makes it sound interesting, and lends us their book for the first session or two to see if we like it before shelling out $$$. It's missing the bullet point I need to get me to DM it - an OGL-type-thing. I'm done making up fantasy campaign materials for games with a use-by-date and (many) restrictions on sharing them.
