I have been holding out on 5e. I only ever heard folks complain about it and I have been happy with my 3e core set for decades. Finally scored the entire set for 35 bucks on ebay, virtually brand new.
Looking forward to engaging in the online reindeer games.
" the table’s more important than the game." 100%. Thats really the reason I wanted this set. Because it opens more options to play with more people. After reading through the PHB, its still just D&D.
