But 5e and I are in an open relationship. I still like to play other systems. I occasionally rune one-shots from the new Paranoia system. I've also run one-shots of InSPECTREs and when my kids were younger we played a lot of Hero Kids and No Thank You, Evil!  One nice thing about "dumbed down" kid games is that they really high-light distinguishing mechanics because there are not many rules to worry about about in the first place. So you'll know very quickly how much you like or hate dice pools, for example. I also use Meetup.com to find games to join when I'm traveling. Often I'll find myself with an evening free (such as the final day before flying back the next morning) and often in cities that don't offer much in the way of tourist destinations. So, instead of hanging out at a bar or in my hotel room, I'll find a game to join for the evening. That allows me to play some pretty obscure games, which is fun. But I still come back to 5e for the campaign that I run. I know the system well and there are so many adventures and campaigns I still want to run in 5e. So we are still together even after all trysts I've had with other systems.</blockquote>
