[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8951570, member: 6988941"] I voted very low. Up through playtest packet 3 I was displeased but still fairly deeply invested. But the whole OGL thing both made OneD&D's absolute brand dominance seem less all-consuming, and got me hard at work making my own 5e clone taking advantage of the CC-SRD, and whether or not that goes anywhere there will be plenty of 5e games that are not such messes of committee decision-making as OneD&D is shaping up to be and that speak more to my 5e-loving heart. Basically I've just moved on. I'll still probably buy the new PHB for reference unless it goes really off the rails, and I have some hopes that the OneD&D DMG will just be a more considered edition of the 5e one, so that might be a buy. But whereas when the playtests started it was forecasting the rules future of the game I played, now it's all only of academic interest and some interest to me as someone whose planned future 5e products may be OneD&D compatible. I noticed that the day the most recent playtest dropped it seemed to me to barely supplant discussions of Dark Sun as the leading topic of discussion around the D&D forums here, whereas my experience whenever the prior ones dropped is that I struggled to get the site to load it was so overwhelmed with hot takes about OneD&D. Admittedly that's very much just my subjective impression, and playtest 4 seems to have gained steam in discussion over the weekend, but I think I'm not the only one who moved on. See my hatred for everything I see in the playtest is firmly rooted in my love of 5e. So mileage is going to vary on that front. [/QUOTE]
