[QUOTE="Ruined, post: 12823, member: 113"] Thanks for the good words, everyone. MasterofHeaven, we are currently using 3e, but we only made the transition back in the middle of last year. We went round and round with systems, even trying to develop and use our own. I had a big problem with the old 2nd ed. rules, and all the changes nearly destroyed the campaign. But now I'm very happy with the way things are going. As far as balance, we weren't (and really still aren't) as concerned about it as to how it affected the story. All of the characters started out at 3rd level, just so I could push them around a bit and not kill them every session. The player of the minotaur rolled his stats as normal, then applied the template we made for it (IIRC, + 2 Str, + 2 Con, - 2 Int, - 1 Dex, - 1 Wis). He was a bit powerful, but for a city where demons and angels walk around as citizens, I wasn't too concerned. And the drow? Well, back then drow were an 'equal' character race. So he had the standard template out of one of those 2e books (I think the player's option stuff). My plans, interspersed with the writing, I'll post some of the 3e stuff I've made, including a few new skills, racial templates for the skaven, and other tidbits that I've collected/used/borrowed off the net such as the Outlands Calender. I think I'll even work on my website with some of this. [/QUOTE]
