Because we only have story incentives to progress. So when the narrative wasn't hitting, people stopped getting hyped to play those characters and started missing sessions or rescheduling. And we hung out to do other stuff instead of D&D.And I felt it. I wasn't excited to have my wizard delve into a dungeon to get practically nothing again and level up to get practically nothing again and replace dead party members... again.This isn't to say that you can't play a flatter game. I've played in fantasy games with lesser progression. But they were almost all lower combat with other themes like intrigue, mystery, war, or horror.</blockquote>
