[QUOTE="vectner, post: 3924419, member: 19218"] I'm in the middle as well. I won't change right away. I have too much invested in my 3.5 campaign right now. I like some of the changes, but not all of them. At least from what I have read. the real question is are you going to have fun. The original idea of D&D was that you could spend an afternoon around a table with some friends and enter this fantastic world of monsters and treasure. If your character was lucky enough he would come out of it a hero and be rich, most just ended up dead. All you needed was some pencils, paper, dice, and your imagination. It didn't cost much and was tons of fun. I played some Basic D&D with my son the other night and we had a great time. Roll 3D6 six times and thats your character. Elf and Dwarf were classes and clerics didn't get spells until Lvl 2. He had three characters and I ran him through the sample dungeon from the Blue box set rule book. The cleric died on the first random encounter in the hall and the thief succumb to the bites of a rat in the first room. The fighter left the dungeon with a +1 sword picked out of a tomb and 900gp in treasure. It was quick and dirty and it was fun, that's what it is all about. [/QUOTE]
