However, I do see it as the best edition WOTC has put out to date. Some of the things there are geared toward a younger and different set of players which has to happen to get new players in. While I don't like some of it I see why it has happened.
Julian, while this may be the best edition Hasbro has put out to date, it still is a steaming pile of crap compared to TSR's output. Even 2d Edition is better, and we know how fond of the splat TSR was in the 2d Edition era. Dungeons & Dragons died over a decade ago, and Hasbro has been reanimating the corpse since then. I deleted the PDFs and moved on, because I no longer give a damn about their product. They lost me back in 1999.
Now that I got the obligatory bashing of "5th edition" out of the way, can I go now?
Yes, you can go now.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Since my expression doesn't mesh with yours I should go away?
NO. Just don't tell me that I shouldn't write about something YOU don't like. (remember the sequence of this conversation????????? I see that you omitted YOUR original attack on me. Typical behavior of dishonest people)
That concept should be simple enough for even you to comprehend. No?
Now, run along and troll elsewhere.
Julian didn't edit anything, you just misread/misremember, so YOU started the attacking. How about you try to remember to stay friendly around here, instead of making your own thread turn ugly. IF you don't think you can do that, YOU are free to leave. We only like friendly people around here.

WRONG
His first post was an attack on me. Reread the thread. I was friendly until HE came after me.
WRONG! It is in no way shape or form an attack on YOU. IF you think it is, you may want to consider seeing a Doctor for treatment, and that is not an attack, but an honest suggestion for you to consider.

I like the focus on personality traits in character creation. It keeps in mind that this is a game where you actually play a role. I also like how you start with a general character and then you choose a specialty (or archetype) at level 3. We need to see more specialties though!
I made a 1st level character (dwarf cleric) in about 20 min.
The rules: The advantage/disadvantage rule seems like a good idea (and a good way to keep players from min/max’ing).
I also like proficiency and how it ties to attacks, skills, attribute checks and saves. It’s kinda like the siege engine.
The short rest/ long rest thing seems odd?
Finally I have to say that it reads well, but I have yet to see how it plays. Anyway I’m gonna try this game. The group I’m in prefer Pathfinder, except for me (I prefer C&C off course). This game could be a good compromise
This was basically my impression also. i think there's a lot to like from what I see in D&D Basic. It does seem to borrow from C&C.

Yes. One of the designers had to be familiar with C&C. You can clearly see the DNA within the design. But, they had to add needles complexity or be called out for blatant copying. So it will always be an inferior product to C&C
