Hey, Mike! I wanted to start off by thanking you for your excellent work on 5e. It looks like it is stacking up to be my favorite edition!
I have a very simple series of questions for you.
1) What is your favorite class to play (and in what edition)?
2) What’s your favorite example of good role playing that you’ve experienced first hand?
I love wizards and rogues.
Best example – when the dwarf in our party assassinated our patron and mentor completely out of the blue. It was totally shocking, but it pushed the political situation in town directly in the direction that the dwarf wanted. It caused huge issues for the party for the rest of the campaign, but fit perfectly with the character. One of those moments that made a real mark, and the kind of unscripted twist that makes D&D awesome.Comment from discussion AMA: Mike Mearls, Co-Designer of D&D 5, Head of D&D R&D.
