To be honest I pretty much don't care about T5, I like some of the people
who are enthusiastic about it, and I hope it works well.
It is just that if I where going to run a game I would chose MgT's
character generation and skill resolution, and build up using bits
and pieces from other editions. Have been pondering how much of TNE could
be grafted on to that base. With simplification of in game functional
mechanics being the goal.
Again I hope they find their market.
