The newest player has never played D&D at all, but he's a veteran computer gamer who told me yesterday after delving into online research on the Realms and reading the PHB front to back, "holy crap, every game I've played is based on this!" Everyone is really enjoying 5th edition.  To me if feels like a blend of 2nd and 3rd with some 4th innovations mechanically.  As a writer, I tend toward the more story based elements and 5e lends itself well to that.  There's no staring at power cards or determining how many squares a miniature is pushed or pulled, which ultimately turned me off of 4e after running it for a good while. I don't know where the campaign is exactly going next.  Elgweth's player actually wants to swap the elf rogue/mage out before he dies and replace him with a paladin or full mage.EDIT: the last part in the Chasm, the dark temple, is pulled from Frog God's Underguild adventure.  The Cult of Ashmadai are vampires. And there's a planar portal to Evernight in the Rift, or in the temple, I'm not sure yet. And now they have the cursed Book of the Black Spider as well.</blockquote>
