  • Was thinking about how some people complain that 5e “isnt a good game” and when pressed they never seem to have a good excuse, it’s like they parrot what someone else tells them.

    It just sounds like they dont know they wanna say “I’m a bad DM” or “I have a bad DM”, cause any game that to me seems to fix problems are lighter in combat rules so fights dont take forever on the table and they would rather have more rules on combat engagement, which is the most boring part of playing and running a game because of all the rules that have to be referenced and adhered to.

    At the same time there are statnerds who want to bend the flimsy rules to their will, and many DMs are still new and inexperienced to know to counter that. Got a character that can fly out of range in one turn?

    1. Dont be so sure
    2. Okay, then you left combat. At the end of the next round if you wish to return to combat you have to roll a new initiative.

    There’s no rule for this in the books, but that’s the thing, if you need to make a call you’re allowed to. Not everything needs to be codified. If someone does bullshit, respond in kind. This is why rules light is better.

    Go back to using your imagination and leave the stats for homework.
