[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 8730055, member: 12731"] Afraid not. I have no plans on ever returning to 3E/PF1 for basically one reason only: the way monsters are created like characters. After having seen my NPCs get destroyed without ever taking a single action despite spending hours on creating them one too many times, I'm done with d20 for life. I could conceivably enter a d20 campaign as a player as long as I never again have to create monsters for it :) [SIZE=2]When I quit 3E I also was burned out on the utter imbalance between character options, but with the lens of nostalgia I'm prepared to ignore that bit...[/SIZE] I'm currently playing Dungeon Crawl Classics [SIZE=2](as the DM or Judge)[/SIZE]. The campaign is fairly atypical, being a troupe-style campaign set in a humanocentric Sword & Sorcery world inspired by the classic and deeply flawed ;) Barbarian movies of the 80's. I'm having a genuine blast, but I realize I won't use DCC for regular [SIZE=2](Forgotten Realmsian) [/SIZE] D&D campaigns. Currently the only serious candidate for such future plans is to return to 5E. We'll see if that means regular 5E or Level Up A5E. [/QUOTE]
