Yeah, the pace might be a curse, but it's a blessing all the same!
Well spoken! Its merits asided, 5e is incredibly bland in quite a number of ways.The gonzo 2e setting with the mechanical 3.5e is also pretty great. It's not that I dislike 5e, but it's definitely missing the same level of systems mastery, and none of what it's published so far really gets to the weird fantasy that 2e dove headlong into.
Thanks! Enjoy it I did!Don't worry about it, enjoy your time in the sun! (Or wherever you're going that has no internet.)
