Way OT - 5th edition of D&D on the way

[kota1342000]

I got turned off from D&D due to some crap DMs. Not an excuse I know, but Ive run itno a lot more terrible GMs from the Dungeons and dragons side than I usually do with most other games Ive played like T2K, Traveller, Paranoia, Rifts, Gurps, 3-16, Savage Worlds....the list goes on. Ive noticed that most of the same GMs who stuck to D&D so much also seemed to flock to Pathfinder. Generally I look to see what that crowd is doing and go the other way.

...And T2013 isnt all that bad. In fact Im getting rather attached to Reflex

Take it we're not talking about the M109 SP Howitzer here?

I had much the same problems when I first started playing D & D in the mid 80's...it took a while to actually get a group together that "clicked"...

I'm the same as Paul - last version I played ftf was AD & D although I did play both Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale on my PC (and enjoyed them both).

I've played all 4 editions (plus Basic and Pathfinder), and DM'ed all but 4th. I have no interest in 4th, and about as much in 5th. I'd like to go back to 1st or 2nd edition for playing, but the majority of my playgroup wants to stick to 3.5/PF. So be it, I guess.

The good news is that I've gotten my 13-year old son and a rising number of his buddies to play D&D. It's funny that he's adopted my attitude against 4th.

I'm also working patiently to get them into some other games, but the Cold War (and WW3) don't resonate to them at all.

And in "their" Star Wars, the guys in white armor are the good guys.
