[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6561961, member: 87792"] Averse? No. But 5e has about as much content as D&D did in 1975 (i.e. when there were a few issues of Dragon out). And people intent on a Four Yorkshiremen sketch don't realise that creating content for oD&D is [I]easy[/I] compared to creating content for 5e. Most of adventuring in low level oD&D took place in a self-contained artificial environment that didn't have to make sense and didn't need a meaningful story attached, never mind worrying about what PCs were going to do about it. In 5e you are expected to create a setting rather than a skeleton and a dungeon. Standards are generally much higher. And a monster that in oD&D took about a line in 5e takes a dozen and dies about as fast. You also in 5e can not build tension by killing off PCs as character creation in 5e takes much much longer with things like backgrounds.
