I'm so glad to hear it, honestly! DnD's been an absolute favourite hobby of mine and it's really nice to see it going a bit more mainstream while preserving the things that make it special (the ability to do almost anything you can think of).

(Now to get Pathfinder one of these...)

Have you played Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous?

I really liked that game, until the crusade management stuff started and I bounced off pretty hard. I'll give it another go in the future, I'm sure though.

You can do away with the crusade management if you want. There is a setting that makes it automatic. It’s really easy once you know the tricks though. Focus on one big general, save before each fight and reload if you suffer anything other than very minimal losses, and eventually any losses at all. Stack the good archers, forget their names but they have a fancy pointy hat on. They will kill most any unit in a single attack.

It wasn't the difficulty, but the change in game play. I knew about the setting to do automatic crusade, but didn't end up trying it.
