The game that strikes me as intriguing, and for which I'm eagerly looking forward to, is Iron Lore.Some of the comments made by its creator (on the Malhavoc Press boards) that appeal to me are below. Mearls has said:"This has a variety of interesting changes for the system - Iron Lore combat tends to be much more tactically rich. Players have more options and class abilities that are more interactive than D&D ones.As a consequence of the changes to the core d20 engine, you can now stat up an 18th-level NPC from any class in about 5 to 15 minutes, tops, once you're familiar with the system. I estimate that Iron Lore adventure prep takes about half, if not less, time than adventure prep for D&D. The time savings become even more pronounced at high levels. Yet, the game still supports all the cool, weird, fun action of D&D - trips to other planes, battles against dragons, demons, and other powerful monsters, and so forth."I like the reduced adventure prep time and faster NPC statting, as I'm sure you do also. From other comments Mearls has made, he's also simplified attacks of opportunity, another of the tactical "headaches" of 3e. Finally, I think his combination of "skill groups" will strike the right balance between C&C and D&D 3e from a skill standpoint.And the fact that it supports the lower magic games we both like is a plus too, IMO.Any word on Dublin?</blockquote>
