[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8713225, member: 7025508"] Right. I voted 4e Essentials, but I'd much rather play 5e. It's just that I don't dislike 4e (either version) enough to decline an invitation to a campaign using it. For even older editions I have some nostalgia goggle warm feels, but to be frank, the systems were various states of mess. 3e less so than previous ones, but it was still hella cumbersome and not that coherent. 4e at least works without being a constant headache. I have issues with the design philosophy, but I'd rather take than than AD&D's insane jumble of disunified mechanics. Also, I think Essentials is far more divergent than Tasha's. Essentials basically redid the classes with a new design philosophy. It is pretty significant reboot even though you can use it together with the older stuff. Though I guess how post and pre Tasha's race design difference is pretty analogous. Still, the classes are a way bigger chunk of the game mechanics than the races. [/QUOTE]
