[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 4675646, member: 1129"] Uh... becaue I GMed the old first adventure before the PHB came out and then ran Sellswords of Punjar and then ran a conversion of The Thief Lords Vault (from the setting boxed set, also in Punjar) and want to get back into the swing of things as opposed to having every player go, "I printz this off Dragon.... I want play Swordmage.... I want play Goliath Barbarian." I'd like to start ... well, simple, and move on from there. If the game is all about new mechanics, it cannot be my game. I'd rather go run Hero at that point as everything I'd need is in one book. If people HAVE to have something to complete their character, they can get someone else to GM. In a few months after I've run things around for a while, sure I'll be more open to looking at the various options but to start, let's keep it simple. In terms of setting... my grey roots are going to be showing. I tend to enjoy some of the non-build up material like the Dungeon Crawl World... I want to say it's the Known World but I know that's the old Mystara setting. Paizo's setting is also awesome. 4e Forgotten Realms?
