Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 9526389" data-attributes="member: 6796661">I got into D&D in the early 80s with Basic, played AD&D and a lot of other TTRPGs from that era. When I went to college in '89, I think I played one game of D&D but other than that didn't play any TTRPGs from '90 until 2014/15.  A few years before I had moved back to my hometown from overseas and started hanging out with a couple old friends from high school and we started having board game nights. I started thinking about running a game of D&D and went to my local FLGS, but the 4e books were not the game I remembered and didn't speak to me. I looked at Pathfinder and was intimidated by it. So I stuck to board games.When 5e came out, I went back to the game store to check it out and it was love at first sight. I took a few months to get comfortable with the rules, played a few games at a local con and Adventurer's League games at local game stores, while working on my homebrew world and campaign. Started running games in early 2015 and ran 5e until the end of last year. I've since moved on to running Warhammer Fantasy Role Play 4e and my current campaign will likely last another year or two. But I bought the 2024 PHB and DMG for D&D and like what I see. I plan to eventually run 5e 2024, but it may be a while. After my WFRP4e campaign wraps up, Foundry's Ember game should be out. If they are able to mature their Crucible System for Ember, I'll likely run it using the Crucible rules instead of the 5e rules. Then again, if WOTC releases Project Sigil by the time I wrap up my WFRP4e campaign, and if I like the VTT, I may run a D&D game between WFRP4e and Ember.  I measure my campaigns in years, and with work and family responsibilities, I don't have the time to run or play in multiple campaigns. I do, however, like to run one shots in other game systems--generally more rules light games. 5e will always hold a special place in my heart for bringing me back into the hobby and I still enjoy the system enough to be happy to run or play games in the system.</blockquote>
