I enjoy is for the most part despite that I had to adjust the healing/dying/save or suck rules to suit what I consider to be a more tensely rewarding system akin to 2E and 3.5. Yet, despite this overhaul I am in love with every other aspect of 5E.Has it caught on? I dunno. I feel like folks aren't giving it a chance. I've checked in with a lot of folks I used to play with back in the 2E and 3.5 days, ALL of whom converted to Pathfinder. They're still playing Pathfinder. I'm not sure if they ever gave 5E a glance. I rather hope my experience isn't typical, but my group is playing 5E only because I said that's what I'm now running. I don't know anyone else outside of all you folks on the forums that has done the same.I admit that I'm not sure how well the other old hats I know would tolerate the more simplistic rules or the lack of danger immediacy in 5E, but I think overall that 5E has done of good job of (a least in most cases) not oversimplifying that which should be more complex out of necessity. At the same time combat in 5E is more interesting by reducing the stat ladder and focusing on more special abilities along with the interesting addition of bonus actions and reactions. As for the lack of danger immediacy in 5E, while that is genuinely a problem that any old hat would agree with, I would argue that we are looking back with somewhat rose tinted glasses, and there were plenty of other things we house ruled back in the day as well.</blockquote>
