[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9269337, member: 6790260"] Low-magic is a big one. It's rather difficult to play a low-magic game in 5e, much moreso than multiple prior editions. The 4e style is another. Serious survival, where merely getting one day to the next is a struggle with a dangerous environment, is quite hard unless you go through and rip out quite a bit of stuff (or ban many classes) and port in new rules. There are also styles, or elements thereof, that have, shall we say, rather [I]thin[/I] support. Heavy logistics play (the other main component of old-school style, after survivalism and low-magic) is pretty sparsely supported, and anything involving politics/domain management is likewise barebones to nonexistent. Exploration, as a recent thread noted, is pretty disappointing. But "little support or all too often no support" is rather better than having to [I]fight[/I] the system to get what you want. Note that I am of course not considering 3PP in this. Because if you allow 3PP, then every edition has equally supported everything, namely, perfectly, because [I]someone[/I] can write up 3PP rules for anything. [/QUOTE]
