3.5 better for world building?

[Bluenose]

Phony baloney, pshaw.

I made no commendation of random tables.

So what are the good things on those pages that aren't also discussed in 4e? Or perhaps you could try explaining how the economy created by 3e is better for world building purposes than that of 4e, how cities function in it, what trade routes are likely to exist, how many farmers and villages and towns and cities a given area can probably support, and how magic alters that?

You didn't see many 1st edition clerics replacing fighters, the way it could happen in 3e.

Yes, I did/do.
I saw/see even more in 0th edition.

I think that this thread has gone past discussion and into arguing, and I'm going to close it.

If anyone thinks it really, really should stay open, feel free to contact me. Until then though...

Clunk.
