[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 7935067, member: 27996"] The "mechanical pacing" due to inflating hit points like D&D has, and the "hero's journey" are two very different things. A "hero's journey" is what happens during the campaign. Most any game system can do it. You can easily run a "star wars story" with a system that does not have inflating hitpoints. D&D style "mechanical pacing" is part of the D&D genre. Zero to Midieval Superhero play style that has become the norm when D&D went to 20 levels of advancement for everyone in 3e. Most players expect their D&D game to be RAW. And it would be easier to "adjust the game to their liking" if it was not already mechanically geared to a very specific playstyle. So I would advise those who find themselves fighting the 5e system - to find a different system. ??? I don't know where you played - but that's not my experience or those in my gaming circle at all. . [/QUOTE]
