[QUOTE="GravyFingerz, post: 2238826, member: 77"] Too many rules. Let me give you a disclaimer; before I begin, let me say that I love D&D in its current incarnation, as well as past incarnations. Everything I say is my own opinion; I speak for only myself and no one else. If you feel like I am putting down your favorite game, or whatnot, that is not my aim. I feel like 3e and 3.5 has too many rules. It's just me, in that I feel like I shouldn't have to wade through a book to find out how to disarm someone, or what a sleep spell specifically affect. I feel like I want to wing it; if its not covered, I feel like I have a keen enough mind and grasp of balance and the rules, enough that I could wing it, and wing it well. I know what you're thinking; Castles and Crusades. Yes, I own it. I want to use it, it's just getting my group to adopt it. Being 3.5 players and all, they like their game. Then again, when I explained it before, I told him that 3e didnt feel like D&D to me, and they basically said "thats bs, it feels like D&D to me." Now, I must say, it isnt the feel, but being restricted. I think their biggest fear was converting our current campaign to C&C, which I wont do, and said I wouldnt do. I think if I start a new campaign using C&C, it would be okay. Anyway, how many people feel that now, years after 3e is out, that maybe its either the right or the wrong game for D&D? [/QUOTE]
