We were slow to adopt 5e but we were based on no new 4e products... but as 5e has gone we have felt less and less satisfied... this ins't a "Only me" this is my whole group (well 1 exception who loves that as he puts it 'wizards rule and fighter drool')okay... so we are running the game were we are about half combat and depending on the DM more exploration or more social rare is it for it to be 1/4 1/4 and I don't think we ever got a 1/3 1/3 1/3 game... some times our combats (although rare) in some campaigns get up to 3/4 the game. We use mostly huminoid threats (so orcs humans) with the dragon or eldritch horror spread out through out the levels...we try to minimize player skill and maximize character skill (we don't always pull it off) not on enworld we call ourselves a narrative focused group... but i have been told what we do by gaming terminology is more gamiest.  I also had my first player quite a game in years saying we focused too much on 'problem solving' and I never got a good idea what that meant.Depending on the night (I game twice a week) there are 3-5 players and we alternate who is the DM... although it looks like we may have a new player coming in soon.[SPOILER="schedual"]right now I am running every tuesday and we have 2 on 2 off game that I am 1 of the 2 alternating games on saterday and techniqly we have a 1/month game but it has only met 6 or 7 times in the last year so we have some issues getting it togather[/SPOILER]with the exception of counterspell that is not something we use much, the rest come on a case by case basis... the amount of antimagic zones has lead to more then a few people wanting to have some weapon skill hence why war clerics sword bards and hexblades get the most play but bladesingers are right behind them.great... silly me trying to talk about a game on a game fourm... thank you for letting me know not ONLY am I DMing and Playing wrong BUT there is no need to talk about it cause WotCthis is also why I am hopeing for a 6e... I seem to prefer even numbered editions</blockquote>
