[QUOTE="Warunsun, post: 5897469, member: 6688054"] Indeed. I agree wholehearted that the core of v3.5 was amazing and playable. Everyone enjoys a few expansion books. But my later issues with v3.5 are that it had far too many expansion books and just like in the later half of Second Edition things started to get screwy. My group eventually switched to Fourth Edition (it had been out for over a year when we did switch) largely to get free of the many crazy ideas presented in some of the later expansion books for v3.5. It was actually quite refreshing to play 4E in that the material was much more scarce and more controlled. Overall which edition was better? I am not sure. I did really enjoy the early Third Edition era but I also like the simplicity of fourth edition combat rules compared to what was available by the end of v3.5. I hope that fifth edition will have less books than v3.5 and keep the basic combat rules very simple. It is a big desire of mine to see the 7 main races and 12 or so main classes supported fully from the start with less "cool bonus rules of the month" crap. Expansion books later on could add new classes and races and hopefully don't completely rewrite the content of the Player's Handbook like was done in both v3.5 and 4E. [/QUOTE]
