The guy ran the D&D Starter Set adventure for us today. He had a good time revealing areas and secret things.
The thing about 5E, though, is that it took 40 minutes to fight three zombies. Some of it is that a first-time nine-year-old DM was running it, but some of it was simply that everyone in 5E — both the PCs and monsters — have more hp. It does make players feel like they do more in battles, but inevitably, they also spend more time in battles.
