Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7937436, member: 518"] I am totally about modding any game to fit my/our needs. I run everything in a fast loose style. That said, I enjoy different styles that may not be my preferred way to run games. Highly tactical 4E with minis for example. I don't want to play a year long campaign like that, but an adventure module? Sure. Otherwise, I mod the hell out of it to work for my ToTM style. I wouldn't want to play BTB OD&D forever, For a short campaign, absolutely- bring on low AC, Save or Die, Plenty of Character Deaths, Level Drain, Charts galore, etc. But if I'm runninga long term game, I run my modded mish mash game. I've noticed onoine over the years that many gamers, in particular D&D players, seem married/beholden/unmovingly attached to their fave edition and play just in one way/style. I enjoy experimenting with various games and in different styles. They all have something to offer. Some days I want complete simplicity of T&T or Dungeons! Other days, I'm pining to try PF2E or break out Rolemaster 2E. I don't like eating the same meal over and over again each week either, even my favorites. And once again , you and I are totally off the rails in the thread :D 5E Action economy Sucks(n):poop: There. Have at it everyone [/QUOTE]
