>love D&D's generic schlock high fantasy settings and the feeling of vastness in the established material, to a certain extent the "gameyness" of dungeon crawling and acquiring loot, etc

D'you think 5E might actually be able to sell me on D&D, /tg/, or should I stick to more obscure systems? What's its 'deal'? Further down the "basically a very slow wargame" route 4E had or back towards something a bit more narrative/roleplay-ey like 3.5 was? I literally know nothing about the changes made.

Fuck you and fuck your shit-tier bait thread.

There's literally an entire general thread for D&D 5e every day, anon.
Maybe actually directing your questions there would be more productive?

Just read the basic rules, they're free. Considering you're already experienced with other editions and systems you should be able to compare and contrast on your own.

If I have an opinion that's different to yours and mention it in the OP, it's bait, then?
It's a legit question, you goon.

5E is a mixture of the best parts of 2E, 3E and 4E. In some ways a return to older style gaming with simpler rules. You should give it a try. Mines of Phandelver is pretty good.

Thanks for legit giving me an answer rather than flipping your shit at someone for coming to a traditional games board to ask questions about traditional games.
You're my nigga.

This is also solid advice, I'm just a lazy asshole and wanted to hear some other thoughts first. I'll give it a look.

You're getting troll answers because your post sounds like
>Hey everyone I was just thinking about all the reasons that 5e and specifically 5e would be really good for me and fit all of my wants and desires in a ttrpg but I'm not sure, what do you think, /tg/?

It's watered down Fantasycraft with more support and less social focus.

FantasyCraft is pretty good but if OP loves the game-ish feel, FC probably is going to strike him as too similar to PF in that regard.
Honestly, go 5e all the way, I was in a very similar situation to you and I've settled for 5e after trying it. I'm a particularly fan of how feats work compared to 3.5/PF, and of bounded accuracy. Then again you might not like these so the best thing you can do is see for yourself. Definitely give it a shot though.
