[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6972074, member: 59082"] I haven't read any of the thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating what someone else has said. I think it has to do with what type of player you are in relation to the rules. Imagine a spectrum with two polarities: - People who don't care about the rules at all, are free-wheeling and just there for the story and fun - People who see the rules as central to the play experience, nitpick every little aspect and like to tweak the system to come as close to their idea of perfection as possible We can imagine this on a Likert Scale from, say, -5 to +5, with "negative" being the former and "positive" being the latter. We can further describe this as [I]to what degree the rule mechanics matter to your play enjoyment.[/I] It sounds like you are more on the "negative" side of things, while I think folks that find something wrong with 5E (and probably every system to varying degrees) are more on the "positive." There is nothing inherently wrong or better about negative or positive - it is just a matter of personal style, preference, typology, and psychology. [/QUOTE]
