[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4267882, member: 5202"] I haven't been interested in 3.5 for most of it's existence. I love D&D, but I played almost nothing but D&D for several years after years at college of playing several different games. I got burned on nothing BUT D&D. When Arcana Unearthed (and later Evolved) was released it was a big breath of fresh air for me for several reasons, one of which was a significant relaxing in the Vancian magic system I had hated for years. I haven't had interest in picking up a PHB and making a character in several years. Other systems sure, but not my D&D PHB. 4E has done something to revive that for me. EDIT:A lot of those near thousand posts are also about debating systems to improve 3E into something I would rather play :) I love the core idea of D&D, but around the release of the 3.5 books I was sick of poor quality crunch books heading farther into niche-land, whcih only got worse thru the life of 3.5. Basically I loved D&D when I began playing it 20 years ago and I still love it today, but along the way it's been something I didn't like, even if I did love it. More edits:Oh yeah, I also haven't had a regular group since about 2005, which has put a real crimp in my gaming period. I would happily sit down for at least a dozen different systems, but I might well pass on a 3.5 game [/QUOTE]
