[QUOTE="BluWolf, post: 317878, member: 627"] Sigil you took the words right out of my mouth. I tend to spend a lot of time on the overarching plots in my campaign and detail all the very important NPCs and challenges. Everything else gets the SWAG approach to DMing. When you understand the core mechanics well enough it is easy to improvise. I no longer sweat it when PCs do something just completley arbitrary. I know I can pull something together quick enough to make it engaging or at the least, hold them at bay until I get some time to do it right. I have to say though, you really did crystalize what I had been doing all a long very succinctly. Thank you. To the original point, I recently moved so I have lost my group of 5 years but I will stick with 3E when I evetually get a new group together. Yes I think there are something that the system doesn't do all that well. I agree as advertised progression is a litttle quick for MY taste. So I scale back on the XP a little. Yes I agree there is a little bit of an "arms race" inherent in the rules. But I think no more blatant than other systems. But I really feel the stability and the flexibility are the felines night time garments. I have tinkered extensivley from a flavor perspective and have yet to come across any real issues. I will probably snap up spycraft (eventuallY) and D20 modern when they come out and should have enough for just about any meilleu. [/QUOTE]
