Still thinking about the rest of your points.I have a vague post in mind about how immersion (the kind I always knew) worked best with good worldbuilding. Good compelling fluff builds the world in-game. "Simulationist" mechanics then help the players roleplay the PCs in ways that are consistent with fluff world building and keep it cohesive. Something like that... I don't know if world-building/exploration is my primary goal and immersion comes second, or vice versa.Other than a few quibbles, I really like where 5E is heading now. I strongly disliked 4e warlocks, and I love the playtest warlock. There's tons of world-building right there, and it feels like the mechanics mesh/associate quite well with the fluff. It's as if the playtest was vetted by an immersionist- or exploration-oriented designer who understands my preferences and not a narrativist-focused designer who thinks they understand my preferences but gets it wrong. I just happen to be on the right side of the fence this time round.</blockquote>
