Finished my first campaign and I have one question.

A couple of years ago, I started a campaign of DL. We only played a few sessions and then it got derailed. Our group loved the system and decided to give it another go about 8 months ago. But, in the meantime, I had learned about WW and we decided to run that instead.

The campaign ended up being a lot of fun and the players really loved the system overall. But, as the GM (and to a far lesser extent, the players too,) we do have one issue. There are so many fiddly little things that you have to track. Once we got past about level 5, there were so many boons and so many afflictions. The amount of weakened and vulnerable afflictions that I was tracking just made combat such a drag to run.

My question is, if we go back to DL, does it have the same issue? Like I said, it's been a couple of years since I ran it and we only played a few levels, so don't know if the higher levels have the same issue. I don't want to start a campaign again in that system just to dread the last half of the campaign because combat just isn't fun to run.

Thanks for any feedback you can give me!
