Fifth Edition

It's actually pretty good.

But it's still D&D.

Here's what I think of it, I think that for what it does, it's great. And that thing is introduce people to RPGs. It might not be your favorite, and it's certainly not my favorite, and it might not be the best system out there, and I don't think it is either, but I do think it's great for introducing people to Pen and Paper RPGS.

It's somewhat simple, extremely simple compared to 3.5e, it's far more balanced than 3.5e, but still leans twoards casters, and D&D is a household name. People will be interested because they know what D&D is or at least have heard about it either through their TV shows or just having an interest in RPGs or being a hipster.

All in all, I rate it an 8/10.

It tries to be an introductory RPG but still has fucking vancian magic which makes it impossible for new players to get into.

>I assume everyone hates it because it's new
Well, no.
The secret to 5e's success is that it does pretty much nothing new. It's aggressively mediocre by design, so as to not offend the fans of any previous editions.
It is "everyone's second favorite system", because it manages to seem not quite as good as your favorite edition, but far better than the editions you don't like.

This.
It's a soft, safe system that can be easily adapted and the only real problems with it I've had stem from the magic system.

Why not ask in the 5th ed. general instead of shitting up the board with a superfluous thread?

Choose one.

You assume wrong, it's alright.

The rules are okay but the game itself is very vanilla and hasn't changed in two years
