Even though I knew all of these people and had gamed with each of them prior to the start of this campaign, I had never run for them all together. They seem to have had a creative synergy-type reaction. The fighter and the barbarian are tactical geniuses. As a result, the level-appropriate encounters were all barely a challenge. I have been consistently throwing CR 8 monsters/groups against them at level 5 and it's been about right. In short, they are really good.The storyline is my own doing, but I allow them to pick and choose where to go. So after they do that, I prep. I've used a couple modules so far, but only 10-20% of each module has made it into the game; I'm creating the other 80-90% and that takes time. I didn't know it would take so much time when I committed. My previous 3.5E/Pathfinder campaigns haven't been so prep-intense. But this group loves combat and only wants enough story to get from Combat A to Combat B. I'm not a numbers-DM, and I need to be for this group.I'll take a break in a couple months so one of the players can run 5E.</blockquote>
