Message: <blockquote data-quote="GrimCo" data-source="post: 9350720" data-attributes="member: 7044462">I got burned out by fantasy in general. Not just D&D, but 3.5 happened to be what we were playing at the time. By that time, i was playing more or less only D&D for four years and just had enough of it. So i played Vampire Dark Ages, some new WoD ( as a werewolf and hunter), fair amount of 7th sea (man, i love that game, it's awesome). We had good Hunters campaign inspired by Supernatural, with some new people, it was fun, but it fizzled out due to real life stuff and 2/6 people bounced. Friend pitched new idea using Dawnforge, so back to 3.5 i went.Second time, i just got feed up with ttrpgs in general, mostly cause we played so erratically due to, again, real life stuff ( DM got kid, i broke off engagement with my than fiance and relocated to another country cause of job, other friend had to study for his licensing exam while working full time). Playing long, character driven, story focused campaigns like we usually prefer, isn't really possible when you have 10-15 sessions in a year. Again, after RL stuff settled down, we were at the bar and dm friend suggested that we try out some 2ed ad&d. So back into the trenches. Played that campaign for almost a year, then another friend joined in, dnd next playtest was out, switched from 2ed to Next, then to 5e, and here we are. Still playing 5e, still same group of dudes i play with since 2008ish. In my group, d&d is no1 choice for only 1 friend, rest of us have different favourites, but d&d is firm no2 for all, so, that's what we play. 5e got us cause it streamlined 3ed, made it simple, had enough of 2ed vibe, and most of all, in this 10 years, player options in supplements are kept minimal and mostly reasonable.</blockquote>
