[QUOTE="Amaroq, post: 5146005, member: 15470"] Nope. I turned off avatars. :lol: On-topic, I've played Basic D&D, 1e, 2e, 3e, 3.5e, and 4e. Each time a new release has come out, I've been "disappointed" with it, much as Kzach described, but given it a chance, and found things that I loved in it plus things that I dislike, and I've house-ruled things to find a balance between the cool parts of the new version, and the things I liked from previous versions that I wind up missing. That said, 4e felt like the biggest "jump" from previous versions, and I'm still not quite certain I like the "powers" concept. I find it pretty workable at 5th level or so, but by 15th, with all my powers, paragon path powers, and powers from magic items, I've seriously got three pages of power cards plus a part of a fourth - which makes picking a move challenging, and "remembering" something even harder. I've actually wound up building a "conditional" sheet, so I can see the powers I might want to use when .. e.g., when I miss, when I get hit, when an enemy misses me with a ranged attack, etc. So, sure, I'm going to try 5e. I'm going to hate it. At first. And eventually, I may find myself playing and enjoying it and missing some parts of 4e and missing some parts of 3e and missing some of the wonder I felt the first time I played AD&D and .. [/QUOTE]
