but it's still trying to cater to those stuck in the early '80s.
To be fair, that's a significant chunk of their market.
Yeah, you're right. And it sounds like it's working. They hype for 5E is pretty significant. A lot of that comes from old-timers. It's funny that some people say that D&D has gone back to its roots, because I don't see that much 1E and 2E in 5E. Part of that is because I hated 1E and 2E, and the rules in 5E don't give me that same reaction. Although, they did make electrum pieces a currency again. Um, yay?
Actually, the number of attacks does herald back to the old days when only Fighters could swing a sword more quickly than any other class. I'm okay with that, even though I did welcome the change in 3E when anyone of a sufficient level could attack more often.
