[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 9389627, member: 7025282"] This is an interesting perspective. Could not disagree more on the combat part! Of course D&D has those wargame roots…it’s part of the attraction for me and my wargaming pals. D&D does D&D well! Set out a mat? I set out trees and mountains in a big recessed table…! But that is all taste right? I guess my confession would be that I want to lean into the wargame part at least to a point! Without ranges and minis…I just can’t anymore. As player or DM. I know a lot of new trends are a move away apocalypse stuff etc. but I am an unrepentant dinosaur! Combat is a course impediment to some folks’ vision of the fantasy world…my friends and I are like like kids again chucking dice and yelling in victory and defeat. If we don’t fight much or at all in a session, we are disappointed. “Man, I didn’t even swing a sword once!” [/QUOTE]
