[QUOTE="Theory of Games, post: 9678082, member: 7042201"] That's a good waypoint. Too long for me, but six sessions would probably be ideal for most groups. For me, after the first combat is done I know what I need to know. But. I'm impatient (a universally bad trait) and if something "feels off" for me at the table, it's a big distraction. Wish I had your patience 🤓 Yeah I remember it being that way in the beginning: just playing when we could with not a lot of focus on anything except playing. The players had fun but I hated it because it turned the DM into a game console. Agreed. I know what I like as well system-wise, but sometimes I get caught in the open trying a new system because there's players begging for it. I ran Shadowdark for that reason and it wasn't bad - I mean it's B/X with some 5e elements so I knew where I was with the rules. It was a short one-shot and the players got bored with it before I did, which works since I wouldn't have lasted a full campaign with the PCs having 'Death Saves' and 'Advantage' on everything :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
