[QUOTE="Mepher, post: 7954907, member: 61277"] I have been stuck with this dilemma for a couple years now. At its core I am not a huge fan of 5E. I think everything is over the top. I just prefer a slower paced game with much less abilities. Fast healing, fast xp, big damage just seems like a video game to me. The problem is that as a general rule, players LOVE it. Even my old school AD&D players would prefer to PLAY in a 5E game. None of them want to step up and DM it but they are fine to play it. I went all in as a DM when we switched so I have most of the published adventures, yet never played them. I have Tome of Beasts, Creature Codex, and the yet released Tome of Beast 2. I have the Nord Games bestiary. I have Tales of Margreave from Kobold Press. Spell cards, physical books as well as DNDBeyond books...etc the list goes on. So honestly I have enough reasons to continue with 5E. If I can make "some" changes to bring it more in line with my expectations then it's good but I agree, the 5E DNA is strong. You can't change much without affecting other things. It's a work in progress though. Hopefully I can come up with the game I want to run without too many changes. [/QUOTE]
