[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8288335, member: 6801845"] I liked some aspects of 4E and not others. One of the things that led me to decide that I'd never play it again (especially high level) was the hour or more per round combats. There was just too much going on to keep track of. It's bad enough when you have a computer to keep track of multiple simultaneous or nearly simultaneous things happening at once, but our poor analog brains just don't do well with that kind of complexity. Even 5E combat can be kind of slow, especially it you have The Analyzer(tm) at the table. Heaven forbid you have multiple. :eek: I'd [I]like [/I]a DM-oriented book that covered things like optional tactical rules and some other stuff such as mass combat, building castles and a smattering of other things. I just don't expect to ever see it. There are options in DmsGuild and 3rd party like Matt Colville's Strongholds & Followers. [/QUOTE]
