[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1120086, member: 158"] First of all, let's not get into fightin' words, guys. I appreciate the civil tone through now, but I don't want to see it develop into anything mean. :) Second, I come from a different perspective. I love 3E for my gaming, but I can certainly see the appeal of "quick 'n dirty" for a game system like this Castle & Crusade idea, too. Some people want to get together for an hour and play D&D; by the time an hour's past with 3E, I feel like we've just started. The other hurdle is familiarity with the system. Gary, as a designer, does not like 3E. He's said he's played it before, and likes it for that, but he seems to get bogged down in the details when writing it. Given that gaming is wide enough for multiple systems, and thanks to the OGL, I've been waiting for a "Basic" D&D for a long time now. Heck, I was hoping that Hackmaster was going to be it, but it has its own level of complexity to deal with. [/QUOTE]
