[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6370405"] Which was why I chose to sum my feelings up, instead of hashing out a big old argument. I'm more than uninterested, I'm strongly against. I run my own settings. I have no interest in being told by WOTC what is or isn't happening in my gameworld. I strongly dislike being forced to filter out what is content and what is actually lore. IYHO. I loved 4e. 4e kept me in the D&D game after I got sick of 3.X and it's infinite clones. NO. Absolutely not. I got away from 3.X in part because of the seemingly endless amount of splat. The unadulterated system mastery required to even begin to fathom the game. On how much one person could break the game thanks to obscure items, feats or abilities. It is what absolutely KILLED my interest in 3.X systems. I have no desire to bring decades worth of what I perceive as game-destroying garbage into a new edition. One thing I enjoy about new systems is the freshness. The starting anew. Being able to play the game I love simply, without decades of added complication, splat, incoherency and god knows what else. Perching a new game atop the teetering tower of old is what I would consider nothing less than a very precarious proposition. 5E would undoubtedly be swallowed whole by the past of the game. Forgotten as nothing more than another stitch in the endless fabric of prior-edition splat. [/QUOTE]
