[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6875674, member: 996"] Some of the loudest and most consistent praise of 5e that I've noticed is often phrased in terms of 2e. "Best edition since 2e." "Most fun I've had since 2e." That sort of thing. Such praise is not without merit. I ran a successful AD&D campaign that went 10 years, and straddled 1e/2e. I find I run 5e in a very similar style. Not quite identical, because I tend to run low-level [s]modules[/s] published adventures for 5e, while 2e it was an original ongoing campaign already at mid-levels. But, still, lots of rulings/judgment/improv, all kept 'behind the screen' - and lots of fun. Wow, not exactly gripping. I'm guessing your haunted house is The Death House bit of CoS... it can be more dynamic and atmospheric than what you're experiencing... and it should get better. After 1st level, 5e doesn't call for nearly the caution you've been displaying, either. By the time you're on to the main adventure, you should find yourself doing a lot more with your Pally.
