[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6558126, member: 6778044"] And what's wrong with making money? Before we continue the discussion, what's your opinion about the 5th edition rules in general? Do you like them more/less than the 4th ed? How about more/less than Pathfinder? Which are you playing? Which are you and your friends, acquaintances, and even strangers playing more? I'll set my position: I've played all editions of D&D, starting in the late '70s. At the time, we loved the direction and growth through the 2nd and 3rd editions, although admittedly there were people in our group that really didn't care about all the cool new rules and wanted to just keep playing what we were playing. Things fell apart at the start of the 4th ed. We tried it, but it was very difficult to convert from the old campaign. But people moved, jobs got in the way, etc. I'm now playing with mostly new people in the 5th edition. We all love it, and without a doubt all of us that have played before think it's the best, most elegant release yet. My schedule hasn't really gotten any better, but I've made time to run two campaigns and keep toying with the idea of another, helping a friend (two are starting games, one of them is new to D&D and thus DMing), and I would love to figure out how I could squeeze in running games at a local store. It's been several years since I've run a game, and more since I've run a campaign. So the 5th edition sucked me back in big time. And as I've posted elsewhere it's about a 50/50 split between new and old players, and of the old players a 50/50 split between 3rd and 4th edition players. I'm the only one that goes back farther. Anyway, I'm curious as to your gaming experience and where the 5th edition falls in your gaming awesomeness continuum. Not how WotC is handling things, not what's been released/not. Just what you think about the game itself. Ilbranteloth [/QUOTE]
