The DMs were pretty decent but the system was adding nothing to it other than staying a bit out of the way. The combat was a slog - and one where tactics weren't terribly important. The skill rules were largely DM fiat.From the DM's side I can't think of a single reason to try running it again other than a very insular group. If I want to run tight dungeon crawls I'm breaking out the old Rules Cyclopaedia. If I want to run high action cinematic D&D I'm breaking out 4e. I find 5e to be a lukewarm compromise between these two. If I want to largely ignore the rules and get on with things I've got everything from Fate Accelarated onwards. If I want evocative and gritty characters I've Apocalypse World. I just can't picture anything that I would want 5e to do that I can't do better with a different game. Especially with the way recovery is tied to magic, making a low magic sword & sorcery game impractical.</blockquote>
