[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8140284, member: 6987520"] Nice OP. There is no problem with 5E. There never was. When I first started playing about two years, we played strictly RAW (so to say) for the first 5 levels, which took about 3 months IIRC. The game worked fine. Sure, there were some things that didn't sit well with me, but nothing that would keep me from playing the game and enjoying time with my friends. I've been digging through my 1E stuff lately. Sure, a lot of the memories and nostalgia kicks in, but I also prefer the rules and mechanics in many ways. I like some of the stuff in 5E, too, but it is just a different game. [I]shrug[/I] Yes, it is a different time, too. After playing for decades, a lot of it becomes stale anyway. There are only so many kinds of adventures, only so many hooks, [I]nothing[/I] is new or unique anymore. The only reason I've enjoyed the last two years with 5E is because most of our group were new players and so sharing it with them (since it was new to them) made it enjoyable--but even that is growing stale and so we're moving on to Shadowrun, then maybe Vampire, then 1E, or something else. Who knows? Then again, it might just be time to stop altogether. Again, who knows? [/QUOTE]
