[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9417165, member: 54840"] I’m proud to have just shy of 40 sessions of Shadowdark for one of my campaigns. The characters are closing in on the final levels. I love it. It’s one of the few non-5e games where my players said they’d totally start playing it again. It’s very refreshing. The only problem with it is that it certainly doesn’t have the deep character focus and high growth in power that 5e has. Some players really prefer that. I’m a few sessions into our A5e campaign too. The characters just hit 4th level. I find the combat maneuvers to be a lot to take in – a big added complexity to the game. It’s fun though. Certainly “advanced”. My players dig it, though and no one is complaining except about looking stuff up when they get to a new level. I’ve played both Shadow of the Demon Lord and 13th Age quite a bit too in days past and love both of those systems too. I have the PDFs of Shadow of the Weird Wizard and have seen the playtest of 13th Age v2 but haven’t played them. They look great, though. I played my first session of Dragonbane at a con. I dug it a lot. D20 roll under is interesting. I haven’t tried Tales of the Valiant yet but I think my group may try it out when we finish with Shadowdark for a bit. I also still love D&D 2014 and am interested to see how D&D 2024 plays out. Great time for RPGs!!! [/QUOTE]
