[QUOTE="JesterOC, post: 7675922, member: 42841"] It is just a matter to taste. For me 5e has been great, but at the same time Dragon AGE was a fantastic ruleset that was probably my wife's favorite gaming system ever. What she (and the rest of my gaming group) did not like was the Dark setting of Dragon Age. At the time (and still pretty much honestly) I don't have time for creating my own adventures so after playing 1-2 Dragon Age adventures the group was pretty much done with them. We moved on to other systems and have been enjoying 5e, but we want to try to convert the current campaign to Fantasy AGE to see if we can combine the best of both worlds (a fairly good guy hero centric story with the AGE combat and stunt system). In a Nutshell I find 5E and Fantasy AGE to be simple systems that are good at representing Fantasy Settings. Here is how I currently compare the systems 5E Pros More Monster Selection (Hundreds vs 14) Combat lethality appears more predictable (Going on Dragon AGE experience for this) More Adventures More Gaming Accessories (DM screens, spell cards) More Class options Easier Spell expansion options Fantasy AGE Pros More fun/dynamic combats due to Dragon Dice stunt system A lot of diversity within Class options (I think this outweights 5E's more classes pro) Monsters appear more unique (by being able to give them custom stunts it adds a lot of interesting options in creating and fighting monsters) [/QUOTE]
