Hm. Is anyone leaving the current edition of D&D for Draw Steel? If so, why?
I am. The main reason I feel is how much effort I had to do to build encounters for higher level characters, and how board players were whenever we DID eventually have combat. D&D has lots of character customization, and feels good to 'build' characters - but I've been playing 5e for years (and other editions before that), and so have my players - and they still feel it takes too long.
We go many sessions without combat - lots of good interpersonal moments and social encounters. But, when combat shows up - there's more a fear of dread than anything.
In Draw Steel - we still have lots of social downtime, but people are EXCITED for combat, and pay a lot more attention. Its a win-win in my book.
