Hi, I've recently started PbP on paizo's website playing Pathfinder. I'm also interested in playing the new edition of DnD, so google led me here. I was looking for a game to join and tried to do a search. There are many editions of DnD listed, but I don't see a 5e/Next/New DnD listed. Is this because it is not actually released or because no games have been made yet?

Welcome to RPoL.

It's because it hasn't been released yet.  You can, however, enter the more popular variants on the name into the main menu Search to see if something comes up (I have seen a few test games being created lately).

Hi :). I'm pretty sure I saw a 5th Edition game in the "Players Wanted" forum the other day - maybe check through the first page or two on there. Alternatively, there's the "GMs Wanted" forum, in which people can request a game to be run. I think there was a thread about 5th Edition in there too :).
