[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8271824, member: 82106"] Sure, so I am not really certain what you were wanting in terms of comments in the OP... I mean, if you go online somewhere and say "hey I'm running this D&D game and my PCs want to do a heist, give me some ideas for how to work that in 5e." and the answer is "You 'tard, why are you running that 5e junk!" Yeah, you can basically just tell those guys to pound sand, of course. lol. Now, when you say 5e is 'the best' for this, that was a bit different. I mean, you said basically it was really flexible in terms of being able to take on these 'side genre' type things. At least that was how I interpreted it. I still think there are systems that handle it better, but we don't need to relitigate any of that. Clearly if what you really want to be playing is 5e, that's cool. I mostly like playing 4e, so I would do it with 4e. I would say 4e will handle more things better, but that won't help people that aren't into playing 4e for the main part of the game. Really, I think your OP didn't SAY that much that should be really controversial when you consider what you are really saying what you want. If this thread was written 10 years ago and you said '3e', then we'd have a fight! ;) [/QUOTE]
