SO…anyways what edition to play…Well I figured that they all would require heavy house ruling and a lot of writing on my part… Which do I pick or do I bite the bullet and put my creativity and passion to the test and write my own.   I know what I want, I know I can deliver, I know there is something great waiting… maybe 4E was just a catalyst…Thank you <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/members/billd91.html" target="_blank">billd91</a>! Now, what’s next?</blockquote>
