Hi, new here, I just had a good friend and talented gamemaster get shipped off to a foreign land hopefully to return both hale and hearty. He left me his book, his tome, his...well, huge friggin' 5th edition book. I want to carry on his tradition and come up with a good story, believably menacing villains, and players that won't lynch me at word one....
6th edition? I spent most of today reading the posts and faqs, I see that support and questions for 5th will no longer be answered by the higher ups in less than a week. I haven't really read all the way through the 5th ed book (just started a few days ago) and don't feel I can justify starting a game that may be daunting for me.
My question: Do I suck it up and go on with a 5th edition game hoping that the collection of players I have (small as it is- 4) don't ask about what's new and different with 6th or run whole hog into 6th? (relatively low income here) My friends aren't vicious just really appreciative of a good game. This is a big step for me, I write a lot and read a lot, I have the knowledge and imagination to run a game but should my basis be 5th or 6th? Looking at the info there is enough difference between the two to ask this question in my humble, if new, opinion.
I appreciate any help or guidance, as long as it's not the ridicule I received on the MMO when I played for free a few days. ( I had far too many questions, I guess, for less patient players.)
