[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 2193712, member: 775"] [b]The reasons that I haven't gotten E-tools:[/b] I've considered getting this program. It'd probably make my life a little easier. But when I've looked for it, I can't find it anywhere. I understand that with a credit card I could buy it online. However, I don't want to buy more "D&D stuff" unless I will use it. I just don't know that much about it. But right now I don't have a credit card. I'm still stinging from when the company of the card I last had got bought out by another company and raised everybody's APR by 8 points. (Tip: Don't get a Fleet and/or Bank of America Card, but that's for discussion elsewhere) [b]The System Reference Document:[/b] I've checked it out. It appears that I should just downloaded the SRD instead of buying the books. But I haven't seen anything in the SRD that would cure my stat-block woes. [b]Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay:[/b] I like what I've heard so far about this game. I have the older edition of it and thought it was decent. But my FLGS doesn't have it in, and I can't find it elsewhere in the immediate area so I can take a look at it. [b]Castles and Crusades:[/b] A friend bought the Player's Guide and I borrowed it. I am VERY impressed. So impressed that I downloaded some of the free stuff on their website... [url]http://www.trolllord.com/candc.htm[/url] In the adventure "The Lion in the Ropes" the stat blocks are so small. :D I can't wait to finish my current campaign so I can try out CnC. [b]I just want to play a game and tell a cool story: [/b] It doesn't matter what system I play. I stuck with D&D 2ed from when it came out to when 3e arrived because I was the only system I really knew. I when to 3e/3.5 because I thought "great, d20 for everything." So far, I've run two campaigns for 3e/3.5. And in each campaign the game halted frequently because of these "accounting problems" (and they ARE problems--not even WotC can get them right, just check out MM III). There are so many rules and options available now, that's great. However, I just want to play. I care less about all those feats and skills that any character can choose and more about just playing the game. The magic of D&D is gone. It's been replaced with accounting to keep track of all the skill ranks, feats, spells, spell-like abilities, saving throws, synergy bonuses, [i]attacks of opportunity[/i], attribute bonuses, etc...etc..etc....
