    Has 3E become too much like 2E yet?

    For the most part I have been very happy with 3e, much more so than 2e. Granted there is a surplus of core material out and much of it is mediocre at best, but you see that in any system (except Serenity), plus I think WotC has done a great job in keeping the reins tight when it comes to...
