I've been without gaming for a few years, and already I've forgotten a lot, and the idea of sitting down and prepare a whole adventure with my current "rules-fitness" level makes my head spin...The playtest rules feel to me like a simplified version of 3ed, plus the obligatory new-edition characters power boost (I would rather not have it... but then some of those boost are actually among the most intriguing ideas of the playtest package), hence it makes me feel that 5e could be just what I need: similar to my favourite edition but much simpler to play and much easier to house rules as well, if you want to complicate some specific areas of the game.I'm not sure, but right now I don't think I can apply 5e as "patches" to 3e. If my problem with 3e is that nowadays I don't feel like spending too much time working towards mastering the core rules, then having to work for mixing 3e+5e is somewhat a similar problem.</blockquote>
