...and then what, people will return to 3.5!? m
Unlikely, more likely they would revert to an earlier edition of their own liking. If it so happens to be 3.0 or 3.5, more power to them.

Dante, 3/3.5 has been turning gamers away in droves for the past few years. Why do you think d20 lite systems (such as Castles & Crusades)have been doing so well.
Only because gamers have gotten lazier with the advent of MMORPG becoming so insanely popular. Face it, most people have been getting lazier. Even you are rather guilty of this. HOW LONG HAS IT TAKEN YOU TO FINISH THE TEXT? While I understand you have a life of your own and that this is probably just a hobby for you. You still need to pick up the slack a little. You procrastinate way too much. =^.^=

Your welcome to that opinion, but like so many of your discussion statements, it remains opinion.
Upper_Krust said:
I think you are living in a dream world.
Also opinion, but I will concede it is something I hope for.
Upper_Krust said:
Never even considered it. I work for Mongoose and I am happy with them.
They're alright, they've come out with some interesting things. Urs being the best yet.

I'll take simplified numerical crunch over complicated numerical crunch anyday.
=^.^= Again with the obsession with oversimplification.
Upper_Krust said:
No. Easier and simpler mean more time playing the game and less time prepping the game.
Not if you possess the ability to do the computations without slowing gameplay. None of my games have ever suffered an annoying time lapse. Perhaps this has more to do with DM's and players being inexperienced.
Upper_Krust said:
What scenario can 3.5 handle that 4E cannot?
Oh, lots of things. Like figuring out if you can manufacture a microwave with multiple capabilities then cook the perfect burrito in it without blowing yourself up. Believe it or not, these little things come up. 4.0 is way too much about combat, combat, combat, combat, combat, combat, combat. Lame.
I like PCs and NPCs to be able to perform mundane tasks to get out of sticky ROLEPLAYING based situations. Rather than using some DM generated garbage that has no set DCs, ect.
Upper_Krust said:
The point is complex computations are not FUN, they are WORK.
Only for those who can't do them. A roleplaying game's idiosyncracities should not be taken from us just to cater to idiots.
Upper_Krust said:
Does anyone aspire to being a nerd really though?
Yes, those who value intellect over popularity.
Upper_Krust said:
He never even saw it you buffoon. He was displeased with 2nd and 3rd Edition.
Of course he was, 2nd Edition had made the game more combat oriented, instead of story oriented. The same with 3.X, or so the rumor goes. But we'll never really know the real reason because people stopped listening to him once TSR took over.
