80s huh? noob. I started with the box set DnD, pre AD&D.

The more I read about 5E, the more I am thinking that may be no small part of the problem right there. Do away with alignments? Hell we have definable alignments IRL. Just look at some of oyur coworkers. You can probably name 1 or 2 who are LG, 1 is clearly CE, 1 or 2 who are clearly CG...

The more I am reading, the less convinced I am that I will ever buy the game.
