DND 5e, anyone familiar?
« on: May 25, 2017, 03:36:21 pm »

So, currently Im a player in a dnd5e campaign and DM for a different game.

I've only played in the 4e system and found it unwieldy and rule heavy, if still fun.

5e feels so much nicer for new players and is way better for quick flowing games as things dont get bogged down in rules and floating modifiers. for anyone unaware they entirely scrapped the systems where you would have 2items and 3 buffs and height advantage and surprise giving you +x while distance and obscured sight give -x etc. etc. (This sucked in flowing combat as you had to recalculate everything each turn if you move or buffs change or target moved etc.) while now you simply roll normally, with advantage or disadvantage and get to leave out all the fiddly bits.

so basically yeh Im really enjoying the playing and Dming. Anyone else played 5e?

3E was the last campaign I ran tabletop - It took PCs from level 1 all the way to level 25 over nine or ten main adventures.

Things began to bog down in 3E around level 10 and by level 20, a single encounter would take hours to resolve. This was back when we'd play ten hours every Saturday.

I'd love to pick up 5E, but my only face-to-face gaming I get to do now is Gaming Conventions every now and then.

yeh the older rules and things just seemed to bog down the stronger you got and the more abilities or items you had, hense why I like 5e so much, the only thing that takes longer in a fight is you roll a few more dice and get to hit (or cast) more than once
