This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I have taken a deep dive into 5e, my thoughts and observations, and how it is not a good beginner rpg.

My complete obervation is here!
"The Jedi and Sith will always be at war. They are each wholly uncompromising; their rigid philosophies make no room for mutual existence. But what they fail to realize us that they are merely two sides of the same coin: light and dark. You cannon have one without the other."

Which D&D avatar, then, would you advice for beginners ? The Magenta box ?

It is interesting to note that during their surveys, WotC found that players were very happy with the Rogue, despite being one of the "weaker" options. It seems like players mainly want something interesting to do.

Personnally, I dislike the hit point recovery system. I really prefer the old (cruel) system : 1 hp  for a 24h rest.

I guess its hard for me to criticise 5e, because I'm into rpg because of it. I was born in 2000 and first played the new D&D (Dungeons & Dragons—5th Edition, 2014 version) in 2014 as a 14 year old when the local library club ran an after school game.
And I think a lot-lot of younger players know 5e as the everything of d&d.
When I talk to older folks they do say its more streamligned than earlier versions. Less sub-systems etc?
But as I slowly get exposed to new games and old ones I guess I can appriciate some of your points

As a playtester, I can tell you 5E did not start that way. It actually WAS a good intro RPG. I agree with your observations on how it turned-out.
