Old school rules don't really fit well with epic quest-based fantasy and trying to beat that square peg into a round hole caused a lot of frustration for me (and a lot of other people) in the 90's. I only got brought back around to more old school campaigns when I got explained that you just have to embrace the PCs being Cugel the Clever and not try to make them be Aragorn and then everything works sooooooooo much better. I think even compared to some other versions of D&D, 5e isn't ideal for a low combat campaign since if there are few fights then casters can stomp all over the martials with utility spells and 5e isn't really set up well for only having one fight per long rest as a lot of casters can pull off crazy novas in the few fights in low combat campaign.</p></blockquote><p></p>
