[QUOTE="johnmarron, post: 6378310, member: 71504"] So, a little background. I played AD&D 1E from 1978 to 1981 or so, quitting before 2E came out. After that, I didn't play D&D of any kind until 4E came out (an absence of about 25 years). I played and ran 4E for a couple of years when it came out, but decided the heavy focus on gridded combat wasn't for me. I didn't follow the 5E playtest at all, but decided to check out the Basic PDF when it came out, and really liked what I saw. Right now I'm playing in a Starter set game, which will probably go on to HotDQ. I've been running a Dungeon World game for a bunch of people who have either never played RPGs befor eor who hadn't played in decades using the Innistrad setting (Gothic Horror) from M:tG, and the players in that game just voted to switch it over to 5E to check the new rules out, so I'll be running that game starting next week. I'm one of those people that feel like 5E is like an alternate history version of 3E (i.e., it feels like WOTC went back to AD&D and applied some modern game design and streamlining). As a person who hasn't been very interested in D&D over the years, I'm happy to be enjoying the current version of the game quite a bit. John [/QUOTE]
