[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 7392856, member: 53980"] I wasn't suggesting that anyone was putting down 5e (and in any case, all of the experiences I related were from 3.x and 4e). I was simply saying that the "engine" of D&D (whatever edition) isn't limited to doing only D&D-esque game play well. Don't Rest Your Head is a cool game, but it wouldn't be that hard to port some of the concepts over if you wanted to do something similar. I hadn't played CoC (although I had read the rulebook) but some of the other guys had, and there were no complaints that I recall. Maybe it would have been different if we had played to 20th level, but that would have been an odd CoC game. Then again, I'll grant that my primary group is perhaps a bit strange in this respect. Aside from myself, they are very resistant to trying new systems (unless it has been homebrewed by one of us). But we all love to mod, oftentimes extensively. To each his or her own, I suppose.
