Someone else mentioned that S&S is more about a smaller more personal scope than power, which I agree with wholeheartedly- though higher power often leads to a bigger scope. It's tough to run a believable small-scope campaign with DnD because the PCs outstrip other NPCs quickly with a few exceptions... so you need something like a place like Ptolus where there are (I imagine) multiple guilds of archmages and the PCs going against one of them isn't going to destroy everything.There ARE 5e S&S house-rules I've seen- most notably by [USER=6986003]@xoth.publishing[/USER] , one big thing iirc is reducing the types of spells available to casters.If I wanted to live my best Sword & Sorcery life, I'd run something like Dungeon Crawl Classics (though now that may be tainted), but my the vast majority of my players are really into 5e/A5E and I like my players enough to keep going with it.</blockquote>
