[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5820780, member: 82679"] I love 3.5 for the same reasons Malachei. It's an intricate, deep, elaborate and beautiful system. One can build anything with 3.5 and probably realize the came RP concept in 20+ different mechanical ways. I love it and I'm never giving it up, the only reason to stop DMing or playing 3.5 would be if I need every spare moment to write (but since I can update while at work, until I get signed by a publisher that's not going to happen, and that's a looooong way off) 3.5 rewards system mastery however. It rewards intelligent players, and those willing to open the books and learn. It is also inherently unbalanced as we all know. Legend (got to the Barbarian entry) strikes me as what a "starter set" of DnD should be. Easy, straightforward, impossible to mess up for a new player. It requires zero book keeping, system mastery and no one will be a weak link in the party. It is alsy [U]incredibly[/U] versatile for realizing RP concepts, but not in a way 3.5 is. If 3.5 is a system that allows you to finely tune the molecules of your object until you complete a flawless masterpiece, Legend allows you to take the aspect of painting you like, combine it with that one thing sculpture does that you love, and produce an awesome movie from it. So if Legend holds true, I will definitely give it a try, though it seems to suit low to medium level play more than anything. Nothing says Epic like a level 30 3.5 spellcaster, and for any and all Epic games that's what I'm sticking to even if it's horribly imbalanced at that stage. [/QUOTE]
