[QUOTE="Tyler Do'Urden, post: 1260939, member: 4601"] I really don't like the direction D&D has gone in. I love the 3e/3.5 system, there is no doubt about that. It fixes all the problems I had with the 2e system. BUT STOP IT WITH THE SPLATBOOKS ALREADY! That goes for all the d20 publishers too. I'm drowning in prestige classes, racial variants, base classes, feats, and systems that I'll never get around to using- while good setting material and adventure modules are scant. 1e and 2e provided all kinds of great material in these respects- I'm just not seeing enough new product with it. Even publishers who started out writing good adventures have been making less and less (Necromancer Games)... it's rather sad, really. Also, I'm not sure how much truth there is to this 4/1 ratio of DM's to players- it seems most of the players I play with buy modules and setting material to run their own games with, but maybe my situation is unique in that respect. In addition, WotC has not created some material I would have found very valuable, such as a good domain management system (AEG and Mongoose have entries in that field now), a real mass combat system (not a Miniatures game), or a Magic: The Gathering setting... but we can argue about that one all day... Oh well. Back to converting the classics. [/QUOTE]
