That’s a long combat, I wonder how many combatants there were. In Labyrinth Lord, a combat with around a dozen opponents takes about half an hour to resolve in my group.

@Swordgleam, Yeah, and I was not up to speed either. I have three game systems running through my head, and they are all fantasy RPGs and similar-ish: 3.5, 4e and Pathfinder. It takes time to get into sync with the rules at the table especially as you age. I think that is why I had more fun in the second game. I was warmed up to the rules again and the players around me were a bit more light hearted, and more focused on fun. I forgot to mention one guy in the second game was using a magic shuriken instead of a javelin, I had not used a shurikin since the old AD&D days. I always thought of shurikens as one of those one shot missile weapons for delivering poison. That player dusted half a dozen bad guys all with one little flat piece of metal.

Sounds more like it was the DMs and your first group that were the problem, not the system. But everyone has their preferences.
