[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 4048422, member: 12037"] In the world of software development, if you take a preferred language and stick with that language above all others all the time, it can really mold the way you think about solutions to problems. A Ruby programmer will actually think about how things work differently than a C# coder, for instance. This means that if a C# programmer suddenly has to work in Ruby, he won't code in Ruby, he'll try to write C# code using the Ruby language. And, this is a problem. This looks like a similar circumstance. A 3e player is trying to write rules for another system, but at this point, 3e is so ingrained that even though a different system is being developed for, 3e rules are still being used to do the work. The solution is to really dig into the new system. Run it until you start to think on its terms again, read the books over and over. Talk about it to people who play it as their favored game.
