I have got to find a better TTRPG system than 5e for all the unused campaign ideas I've got, because for as much as I like the diversity of options it provides, I hate the fact that the entire focus is on combat and nothing else. I don't want you to stab the old skeleton priest, I want you to fucking talk to him
I mean, just having a campaign where I set the precedent at the very beginning that nobody will be doing any combat could work? Maybe? But then again I feel like at that point I should just be running a different system entirely, because everyone will just be chomping at the bit to use eldritch blast for the billionth time and vaporize everyone in the casino
