[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8628334, member: 71699"] I base it on tens of thousands of player self-reports praising how functional they find 5e is for them to play. I note that for a wide range of players with diverse priorities, the game continues to function successfully, satisfying their differing needs. I feel you commit here to a false dichotomy. It's not an affront for us to admire the craftsmanship of the 5th edition game designers. It doesn't belittle other games. It doesn't even mean it is our favourite game at the table. I think folk here are on the whole extremely well informed, conscious of their own tastes and those of others, and able to enjoy different RPGs in different moments or moods. We can appreciate the quality of 5e's game design [I]and [/I]see the edition's faults, at the same time. Hopefully you will recollect the following from the article linked up-thread to research aiming to better understand the experiences players prioritised. My meaning is that the game designers had motive for belief that D&D would be more functional - "the RPG experience work better over the long haul" - if different kinds of players were present together in a session. Given 5th edition is often described as centrist (or words to that effect - not taking a stand) I describe how it looks to me, i.e. that it appears that the designers successfully followed their systematic analysis (and I would guess other research in their possession.) I would go further and speculate that they versed themselves in previous editions and a wide body of influential RPG titles as part of their commitment to their craft. [/QUOTE]
