D&D 5E My biggest issue with 5e so far?

[Sacrosanct]

So many freaking characters I want to play but never have enough time to actually play them. Being an adult with a family and full time job sucks lol.

I've played a shadow monk, halfling battlemaster heavy armor fighter, halfling skulker fighter, necromancer, and tempest cleric. All at least a few levels, some more than that.

But I really want to play a polearm fighter, ancients paladin, archer ranger, dragonborn paladin, elemental monk, halfling barbarian, moon druid, chain warlock, half orc assassin rogue, and eldritch knight. But those won't happen any time soon as my current games are all with PCs from the first list.

Damn you 5e! Damn you age! Why can't I be 15 again where I could spend 14 hours a day Saturday and Sunday doing nothing but gaming?

I disagree with you on almost everything except this.

 

[Tormyr]

Yeah, I wish I could play more than once a week, and I'm the DM.

I want to make a half-orc barbarian tavern brawler and name him Banner.
Resurrect my namesake Devotion Paladin Tormyr.
A necromancer servant of the Raven Queen who makes sure the undead go to their final rest.

So many concepts that would be great fun to play.

Bah! At least you've gotten to play any characters! Me, I'm still solely on the DM side of the screen.

WANNA PLAY.

I feel ya. I'm DM about 75% of the time.

Not 'playered' DnD since BECMI, and only been once a player since for a CoC game.

Playing is overrated.

Real D&Ders are DMs....

 

[Dargrimm]

Better playing once a week only that not playing at all. Which is what's happening to me right now.

I am currently DMing two games and playing in a third, which amounts to three games every fortnight.

I, too, have lots of characters I want to play. That's probably why I'm working on my third character for the Age of Worms campaign I'm in. I don't think I can take a single character all the way from 1st to 20th. I just gotta keep trying different things.

As a DM, I found the best way to be a player is PBP. Yes, its slow, but it affords me the time to play more characters. Even so, I have only been able to play a dwarf fighter/wizard and a half-orc battle master fighter. I still haven't been able to play an elf, my favorite race. I also would mind giving the more uncommon races, aasimar, tiefling and dragonborn a try. That being said, I have played more 5th edition so far than I did 4th edition and within a year, I'm sure I'll surpass 3/3.5.
