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.

Does 5e still get you excited?

:eek: You had me at 3 liquor cabinets...

Edit: Wife won't let me get the Bond-ian wine cooler + pistol holster hidden coffee table rack so I'm lobbying for a booze cart with decanter instead...

I was tempted by the globe of the world rolling liquor cabinet. And yes crystal decanters are nice. Got one in the large liquor cabinet. :)

Quote from: Simlasa;1103583I never took to it and even though I'm still playing it that is only because groups I'm in have moved to it.
B/X (in various OSR flavors) and DCC are much more my taste in D&D. 5e has too much of that 'character build' mentality for me to ever get cozy with it.

I've run a few games in 5e as PBP and I seem to always attract the min-maxers. Not nearly as bad as Pathfinder, but yeah, a lot of people looking to make builds rather than characters. It's turned me off a lot.

If I run it again it'd probably be using just the PHB and no multiclassing or feats, but I really feel like I should just run B/X or 1e instead.

In our school club I started one sub-group out with B/X... various adventures were had, and no obsessing over stats. But I noticed the group that started with 5e were all about builds and 'tournaments' where they'd pit their PCs against each other... and they'd rag on the kids who had troubles figuring out how avoid 'weak' characters.
Also, a lot of the 5e players I've met locally seem really big into MTG as well and tend to play in game stores.
