[QUOTE="Nomad4life, post: 2793711, member: 28645"] Thanks for the input so far! We’ll probably end up getting a PDF of the Rules Cyclopedia (which I believe is less than five bucks) to see what it’s about while at the same time looking into C&C. You may be right… But we’re going to give it a shot anyway. The DM has already let us know that he plans on running a “goofy, campy, cliché hack n’ slash” type game, which suits everyone just fine because it will make the rules a little less important somehow… And maybe will allow us to be a little more “child-like” again as well? Most of my gaming group is composed of married, working (busy) members at this point. When True20 came out, we ran a few sessions, and everyone loved the speed and simplicity of it. The unexpected result, however, was that nobody seemed to want to go back to 3.5. It’s not that anyone “hates” 3.X or anything, it’s just that “time” itself is far more of a factor than it used to be, and 3.X requires a lot of set-up and preparation relatively speaking. Some combat rounds seem to take forever. I think that what people are looking for here is this; Something not only nostalgic, but fast and simple, and yet distinctively D&D-ish. [/QUOTE]
