Choosing a system

[Nifft]

With a play history only in dnd5e

Nah, I was responding to someone else comparing to 5e. Which is a game where you send waves of enemies at players, effectively.
EDIT: Nope, it was you. Sorry! I stand by the claim that monsters in D&D have a different role than they do in DFRPG.

Sorry the book didn't help you in that case :/ It probably could have better advice on how to build up monsters apart from the ones in the books.

The OP has only run 5e games.

That is why you see people discussing other systems in comparison to 5e.

We are trying to be helpful to the OP.
