[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 4858638, member: 5038"] My DND games are never pure. I use Unearthed Arcana, many third party products, some 2e material and ideas from other games. Heck, there are even some elements of 4e that I really like and have adapted. The real issue for me with 4e is that, while their are aspects that I really like, I dislike several of the mechanical changes and disagree with some of the design assumptions and implementation of solutions to problems with 3e. Now to be fair, there were several things that stopped me from running 3e until I discovered Unearthed Arcana and the three Green Ronin Master Class books written by Steve Kenson and I still won't run the game above 10-12th level. The difference is that, for myself, it takes far less work for me to alter 3e to my liking or just grab either True20 or Mutants and Masterminds's Warriors and Warlocks (which also gives me a system for power creation), than it is for me to alter 4e to something I would like.
