[QUOTE="Lazybones, post: 9459991, member: 143"] It got me playing D&D again, after a 15-year hiatus. I had been playing in a 3e game for a while but lost interest; combats were slow and nothing much seemed to happen (this was about 7th-8th level IIRC). I bought the 4e books and read them but never felt any desire to play. After finally buying the 5e books I started up a few online games using Fantasy Grounds in 2020 and am now currently running three games, including one in-person game at the local game store. I preordered the 2024 [I]Player's Handbook[/I] and picked it up on day 1, which I haven't done for a gaming product since the 1980s. I recently went back and looked at the Basic rules that I started playing with way back in the day. Wizards of the Coast has made a lot of mistakes (that seems to be a constant regardless of who owns the D&D brand), but I'm content with how the game has evolved since then and I'm looking forward to the future. I think there's a reason why more people are playing D&D than ever before and the hobby is seen as much more inclusive and welcoming to new kinds of players than it used to be. [/QUOTE]
