[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9597568, member: 18"] Absolutely this. I'd second all these suggestions, especially dial back the combat a bit and has some more RP/mystery sessions, but try to make them ones where it feels like the PCs are crushing it, and for god's sake, don't make them roll too much, like only use the dice if it's completely mandatory, and failure is important.
