One of my group's trying The Dark Eye because the DM got really burnt out after a huge misunderstanding about what we wanted to do in 5e. She seems really excited for it and I'm glad, she's always got a lot on her shoulders.

A good friend and I want to meet up because we don't live too far for a road trip. They promised to cook steak and fish and when I said I was a vegetarian, they asked if that meant pussy was off the menu too. My girlfriend chimed in that dick sure ain't. I've been called out.

I haven't heard much about Dark Eye? What makes it different than what you were all doing in 5e? My group has very distracted so we've been on the same campaign my DM drew up for about 6 months with little actual progress on the main quest

It's really big in Germany apparently, but only got a full localization to english a couple years back. It uses a full point buy system with packages rather than discrete classes, kind of like how Warhammer Roleplay does it but less random/punishing for no reason.

The big problem was the DM and the party didn't communicate enough so instead of running the game we all (her included) wanted, she ran a knockoff of it essentially and wrote herself into a corner because she was under the impression another player hated it, and didn't plan far ahead enough to keep things rolling. Everyone but The Girl I'm always gushing about on fridays decided to remake their 5e characters in the new system (she didn't like hers and wants a blank slate) and preserve our last party's dynamic, but try a new setting and system to give the DM something more engaging to do so she doesn't burn out again.
