[QUOTE="Ahnehnois, post: 6205599, member: 17106"] Other than these "why won't you give 5e a chance threads" where I'm not talking about specific mechanics, when was the last time you saw me posting in a 5e thread? I posted on it a lot in the early going, less as things went along, and then announced that I was hopping off the bandwagon. I even posted the amusing lack of self-awareness in the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?339834-Playtest-Fatigue/page5&p=6165335&viewfull=1#post6165335"]WotC standard email message[/URL] I received when I opted out of the playtest. I'm not talking about mechanics any more because I don't know and don't care, and my overall post volume is mostly 3e and other systems or off-topic these days. This thread is asking why I went that way, so I and others have answered. Other than that, I'm really out of the 5e discussion. I don't know. There's a certain crowd that feels the need to dissect every specific play example I provide and use it to convey thinly veiled personal insults. And personally, I often don't read other people's actual play discussions because they're so long and full of campaign-specific references that the rest of us don't get and because the specific gaming style of the person posting is alien to the rest of us. There's so much specificity to an individual game table that I don't know how useful it is to talk about it. Sometimes I think the quality of discussion is higher when we stick to the generic and talk about theory rather than practice. Sometimes examples are useful to explain the theory, that's all.
