It is, however, a DM's duty, to control and encourage a games pace, or so D&D's creator stated.<br/>That is not the main problem either way. The main problem is that the forum-format is excessively unfit for detailed fight-scenes playing out. If this scene is an omen of things to come, let's say every fight takes 3 months, let's say every fight is a level up, to be very generous, this campaign would be concluded in 2023, if we did nothing but fights, back to back.<br/><br/>Now I am ready and willing to put a year or more into a campaign, but you can see how, without a severe pace-change this might not be everyone's cup'o tea, right?<br/><br/>But more importantly, I'm here for the roleplaying, not for the combat. A bit of mechanical details and stuff is unavoidable, true and fights can be fun too but.. yeah.
