[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9253243, member: 22779"] I think one needs to be careful to take things in context. For myself, at least, I'm not saying that 5e is some garbage game that is unplayable. Far from it. I mean, come on, I've played for about ten years now, just like many of you. It would be pretty hypocritical of me to claim that the game was unplayable. No, for me, this is simply an area which causes me grief. Most of the game runs fine. I mean, I just started a quickie Phandelver game with my main group to give me some down time from our main campaign. Played our first session today. This campaign was set up entirely to give me a break, so, no full casters, and no feats that grant spells. I'm going for a much lower magic vibe. Game plays unbelievably fast. Lightning fast. It was fantastic. Such a huge breath of fresh air. And, honestly, it might simply be that I need that breath of fresh air. Between the Candlekeep campaign and then the Spelljammer one, I've been buried in high level, high magic games. It could easily be that I just need a break to get some perspective. Entirely possible. Again, it's all about play experiences. For the past four years or so, it's been super high caster groups, super high magic. All the time. It's quite possible that I just need a bit of a break.
