Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merlin the Tuna" data-source="post: 6749022" data-attributes="member: 55638">That was pretty much our take as well. Especially since we're spending a lot more time on Real Adult Stuff these days, the desire to spend $100 and 900 pages on an incremental adjustment to 3.5E is just not there. Having branched off into a lot of lighter, quicker, cheaper, and frankly more interesting indies as RPG time has gotten rarer, there just is not anything that screams "Play me!" The only friend of mine who moved to 5E has been singing its praises, but I'm pretty sure it's helped by him having run a 4E campaign all the way to level 30 immediately prior. So clearly his judgement is not to be trusted. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Dungeon World and Fate are the latest love affairs, and being actually rules light (whereas 5E is more "rules light if you've only ever played rules heavy games") has been hugely in their favor. Even something like 13th Age, which does some really interesting things and I'd love to try sometime, I just can't see spending the time to crunch through. If we ever go back to D&D, it'll probably be me dragging folks into an E6-ish 4E game. Though even that seems unlikely since computer tools feel totally vital to the game, I'm not paying for Insider (if the 4E tools are even still there?), and the offline ones are either clunky (characters) or straight up busted (monsters).</blockquote>
