[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7014716, member: 20564"] I don't know that I've ever left D&D. I've played and ran in other systems, in both the high fantasy genre and in other ones, but it wasn't to exclude D&D, it was because I enjoy more than one thing. Right now, I love the 5e ruleset, and have a good selection of people to play it with. But that doesn't stop me from running my 13th Age game which is very similar in target audience and philosophy. And that game doesn't stop me from playing 5e. There's been times when I haven't played D&D due to not having accessibility of a group that wanted to play D&D, but since I was okay playing ti would that of counted? 4e did burn me out (after several great campaigns) when it was taking a session and a half to run a single high level combat online. Really sad - for whatever system issues there were the DM had crafted an amazingly mythic world and we were really getting meaty in it. I wish could have seen where it was going. But 5e was right there and I was willing to play. So I guess I've never left D&D, I've always been willing to play. I've just enjoyed the grace of many other systems as well. EDIT: Just for completeness my wife used to play D&D back when she was in girl scouts. I asked her why she broke with it, and her answer was "puberty". [/QUOTE]
