I played around with a lot of variant rules back in 1st edition -- from "reputable sources" like Dragon or White Dwarf to kookier things like Arduin or fanzines. And I'll tell you, it usually felt like a complete crapshoot bringing some of that stuff into the game.But with 3e? A lot less worries. Oh, there are plenty of broken things out there, but they're much easier to spot. For example, I am working on a conversion of an old BD&D module, and needed some 3.5e stats for a couple of monsters. A Google search turned up some fan-made conversions, which were quickly deemed Good Enough to Swipe. Before 3e, I would have been very, very reluctant to have just grabbed something like that off the internet.</blockquote>
