The role of the DM is very different in 5e than in other editions, in my experience, and I can see where an AI DM could run 5e due to all of the mechanics and rules that player's can use while playing. Watching my daughter play Baldur's Gate III was been illustrative for me regarding how people play 5e.To repeat: I want everyone to play what they want, the way they want to! Have fun with your friends. There is no right way to do this, only the way(s) that people enjoy. I hope the updated rules rock for all the people who choose to buy and use them!Incidentally, my oldest is going off to college next week to begin her freshman year (weeping, weeping) and she's taking my 5e books with her so she can play while at school. Have at it!</blockquote>
