Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 6249347" data-attributes="member: 20323">I'd like to see a "Welcome to 5e" article or section of the PHB that gives a snapshot of the game from the perspective of gamers of each editions. When D&D players switch to a new edition, there are lots of assumptions they have that may no longer be true. They want to figure that stuff out at a quick glance, not wade thru the entire book piecing it together. Don't just write the game with new players in mind, help the old guard transition (or at least to decide whether they want to transition).For example, 1e players will notice X, Y, and Z are similar, but A and B are different.Really spell it out in no uncertain terms what the game is, and what aspects of which editions it is carrying over, changing, or adding completely new stuff to. Not sure that will happen, though, it will probably all be hidden in between the lines.</blockquote>
