[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6332305, member: 59082"] So I'm confused. You seemingly "dislike" or "hate" every previous edition of D&D, but love D&D...as an [I]idea? [/I]Maybe you love the [I]idea [/I]of D&D more than the actuality of it? It also sounds like you enjoy an edition for awhile then "fall out of love with it." That happened with both 3rd and 4th edition for you...so what is to stop it from happening with 5th edition? I know you say all of this isn't relevant to the thread, but I actually think it is. There is something you love about D&D that isn't tied to the rules - that isn't the rules at all. In fact, you seem to dislike/hate every version of the rules; one would think this fate will eventually befall 5th edition. So maybe it is the story part, and D&D's rather specific gathering of tropes and ideas. It also makes me wonder whether you'd be better off playing a game system that you do like, but "D&D style." I know some folks do this with Savage Worlds. But you like 5th edition, so ride that for as long as you can. But eventually... [/QUOTE]
