Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shemeska" data-source="post: 2101111" data-attributes="member: 11697">The pendulum of fluff/crunch swung far FAR FAR too much towards the side of crunch with 3e when I entered the hobby. I looked back at the 2e products (Planescape, Darksun, Planescape, Ravenloft, Planescape) and found books that were just damned fun to read, and not filled with chapters of PrCs like the 3e books.I honestly think that WotC has started to realize that they went too far in one direction and are now trying to find a balance between the two, and I applaud them for this.To the people who want more crunch because 'fluff is easy' or 'all it takes is an imagination'. I call Shenanigans on that. I might read a book of mostly flavor text and never actually use it or play in the setting it's for, but if it inspires me than it's worth the cover price on that alone. 3e books have, for the most part, not inspired me one bit and I've gone back to some of the more fluff oriented 2e material for that. I'm still using the 3e rules obviously, but the 3e material just isn't covering all of the bases for what I want in a gaming product.Slowly they're coming around to seeing this, and not a moment too soon. *smiles and waits for the Shadowrun 4e release, or for when I win the lottery and buy WotC*</blockquote>
