I think the core set of 3.5 is rules medium, assuming you count the old "Basic D&D" red books as the light end. With that said, 3.5 rapidly devolves to the complexity of RoleMaster if the GM allows too many supplements into the game. I honestly don't get the people trying to represent...

I much prefer to GM, but I do like to play once in a while. I just enjoy creating situations and encounters that the players can work through. Like someone else, the group determines how much fun I have - I'm an Epic Fantasy type, and the players that I enjoy the most are too. Truth be told...
