But once the 5E system was dialed in for me, I have little trouble DMing in the same fashion I DM'd 1E and 2E and keeping my group on their toes. But I am an experienced DM, as it would seem are most everyone else posting here; so you all should know that the rules are your guidelines and toolkit, that the idea of building an encounter without fleshing it out and adding factors to create an environment and challenge on par to the gaming level of your players is, well, it isn't good DMing.Furthermore, I feel that a group of people playing D&D for the first time would not find it as easy, in fact the system would work as intended.</blockquote>
