[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6199797, member: 22424"] That's a really good point. If all 5e offers is a set of rules for "pretending to be an elf", even a [i]good[/i] set of rules for that purpose, then it has little to offer me - I already have five previous versions of the game to do that, and Pathfinder, and Savage Worlds, and... I don't need another set of rules unless it's really excellent - and since WotC need to sell books they'll need to constantly expand the rules, and that's a big negative in my book. But if they sell excellent adventures, then that's a somewhat different matter - I'll buy the rules I need to run the adventures... and I'm always in the market for good adventures anyway. There is a problem, though: I have [i]no[/i] confidence in the ability of WotC to write good adventures. And their recent output, notably "Murder in Baldur's Gate", has done nothing to inspire that confidence. [/QUOTE]
