Each new update makes it worse. We will not play that “thing“. After a promising beginning … it’s really a shame.
I save the awesome “magic items creation”. I suggest you all to cannabalize it and use it in your house rules.

I’m enjoying the playtesting. So far I’m cool with it. I have a great dislike of 4th.

I do not like this 5ed, but I think I should at least give a reason, i give 2 for the melee combat system.
- Martial damage dice and martial damage bonus
- Maneuvers (the list will soon be endless i guess, and atm there are very powerful ones usable every combat round)
so i have this feeling … it will turn in to a super hero rpg
let me know if soemthijng changes and it backs to a less “heroic” playstyle, i could give a second try, but honestly i dont think they will go in that direction
—> barbarian, double weapons … triple weapons next? lol

I gave up long ago. As you said, a couple of good ideas here and there, but overall a huge mess.
My major reasons were the advantage dice, the awful GM guidelines and the skill “system”.
Wotc should stick to reprinting the old stuff, and forget 5e ^_^

i perhaps had too high expectations, but i really wanted a new “old style” dd … now we are playn warhammer .. 1st edition
we played before, and now im surprised how it works good (with all its faults, that i dnt find so many btw…). soon we will also try Game of thrones rpg, im not not excited but curious.
