[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9585044, member: 5142"] That said, my last game of 5e D&D was about half a year before the pandemic when my partner bounced hard off of playing 5e D&D. Since that time, the two of us have played multiple games of Fantasy AGE, Dungeon World, Avatar Legends, Numenera, Fabula Ultima, and now Dragonbane. They have also expressed interest in playing some of the other books on the shelf, including CoC, Fate, and MotW.
