[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9583962, member: 22779"] I'm not quite sure what you mean here. I agree, no one else is getting experiences like yours. Everyone else is getting different experiences. Totally agree with you. I do have to admit though, it's impressive to see that level of dedication to a game. I mean, you've stated that you've played about six or seven 1-20 campaigns using the 5e rules and get the same (or similar) results every time. Multiple campaigns, multiple publishers, same results. That takes some serious dedication. I mean, if I played a 1-20 campaign and the results were lackluster, I'd probably give it a second go just to see if it wasn't just that particular adventure. If I got the same result the second time around, I'd probably be very reluctant to continue with that system. The third time and get the same results? Yeah, I'd be shopping for a new game. But six or seven times and getting nothing but the same lackluster results? No wonder you don't like 5e D&D. That's just the gaming equivalent of hate watching. So, yeah, mad props to you for sticking to it. I mean, that's really impressive. But, you do mention that your current adventure is all dungeon crawls and you have almost never had an encounter start at more than 100 feet away. I do believe that this, right there, is possibly a pretty serious nub of the issue. Yeah, forcing all the baddies to stay on the ground, no swimming or phasing through the floor or walls. Everything starting within easy reach of the characters. Plus massively overpowering the characters with cherry picked magic items? Yeah, I'm not really surprised that you got the results you got. I'm just not really convinced you're taking the right lesson away from the experience. Oh, and lastly, my posts are not very long. Please don't fisk. It's rude and will simply result in me ignoring 99% of what you say. [/QUOTE]
