Sure, there has to be a story around that, but unlike some people, I play to kill stuff. To come up with good tactics for my PC's abilities.No doubt about it. I like D&D murder mysteries. As long as I get to kill stuff along the way.I once started with a small group of players and the DM did not have a single fight in two gaming sessions. I never went back to that group. Even though he had an ok story going on, for me, it was the most boring two sessions I have ever played. OMG I was practically falling asleep and it just got worse the longer it went.So, I prefer that D&D ties (most) XP to killing stuff. People who do not prefer that should be looking at game systems that do not (or houserule D&D).In my current group, we have 8 hour sessions. I want that to be about 3 hours of roleplaying, a tad of exploring (which for the most part tends to be fairly boring as well, especially many 4E skill challenges that tend to be exercises in dice rolling just getting to the dungeon) and 5 hours of fights (which in 5E could easily be 8 or more fights plus time in between).Getting back on the original topic, 5E does appear to be fairly simple to create monsters because many of the monsters are fairly simple, especially at low level. Give them an attack or two of appropriate to hit and damage, AC, hit dice and some stats, keep most of them in the 8 to 14 range, done. Maybe throw in a special ability for a higher level or special monster.</blockquote>
