He has shelves filled with first and second edition I think there are things about the newer editions that really bug him. I know he feels the rules get in the way of building different characters and encourages power gaming at the cost of good story telling. I agree a little which is why I have been looking at other systems for a game I wan to run because I don't think DnD even 5E will fit. We didn't boot him as DM he got really busy at work working a lot of long hours he works as a quality control doing independent testing of new medicines.  I know it can be stressful. I know that he was disappointment that I really didn't like the Hero system. I also think there is a taste issue on fantasy he likes more anime style most of us prefer a more gritty LOTRs style fantasy he also loves superheroes and unfortunately the rest of only enjoy it as a one shot not a long term campaign. I told the DM some of your ideas and she is thinking of making a story adjustment that some how Kiree is related to the owner of the company and we are tasked in dealing with keeping her alive. That gives us a role playing reason. She is also going to just hand wave away the attack of opportunity for unarmed attacks saying that Kiree fighting so often she has earned the feat. And we are going to have my PC make a deal with the owner of the company about being the one to provide NPC services in exchange for keeping the elf alive. We will see how this works and if it eases some of the tension from the table.</blockquote>
