I find that I plan more of the game rather than being sponteaneous like I used to, worrying about proper stats and stuff (especilly when best friend knows rules better than me) Also the game has gone to making characters with great stats instead of great personalities. I don't want to change everything, want to keep the players happy, and not so sure about starting a new campaign universe when I have used this one for so long. He's done a lot of work making prestige classes and such, so I don't really wanna say no more game or totally new game..........Although it does have its good points I used the d20 system to prevent some players from creating outreagous unbalanced characters. The reaction from the other players is mixed, I have new players because of the use of the rules, while a few don't care and one really preferred it the original way (but he like never plays anymore for other reasons, but he might be willing to get back into it)I just don't like that my creativity as been sacrficed to make everyone else happy, or that as a GM I have to check with my best friend on the rules all the time.any ideas??</blockquote>
