[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 8318574, member: 1465"] So far I have always [I]tried[/I] the new edition but went back or went away half of the times. I played BECMI in the 90s. Near the end of the decade after we had stopped, I got interested in AD&D but before I could run some games 3ed came. Bought it, loved it and played it for almost a decade. 1-0 When 3.5 came out, I switched immediately but used the SRD instead of buying new books. I DMed it for at least a year, during which the more we played the more it felt inferior to 3.0, so we eventually switched back. 1-1 Then 4ed: tried it using whatever preview was available, for maybe a month. Hated it with a passion, saw that it was becoming so mainstream as to be almost mandatory, and quit the hobby completely rather than complying. 1-2 Finally I noticed DnDNext almost by chance since I was normally staying away even from these forums. Got into playtesting from the 1st package, and here I am. 2-2 Honestly I think I am probably done with editions. I am not the kind of gamer that needs new rules or stuff to stay happy, I only need to PLAY MORE. There is practically nothing in 5e that bothers me (except Druids armor restrictions and Guidance, both already tamed anyway). I do not see how a new edition could improve the game for me, it can only make it worse or at best equal. [/QUOTE]
