[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 3345235, member: 10177"] This applies only to those of us who used to play 2E. Many of us either quit 2E because of all the extra rules books, or kept playing and ignored the extra books, or kept playing and used the extra books to some extent. So I am curious. How do you feel about all these extra rules books in 3E compared to how you felt about the similiar books in 2E? In 2E I owned all the optional books and other books, but I largely ignored what was in them. Out of all the Optional books I think I used 5 rules out of them. I used none of the kits. I used Specialty Priests wholesale. In 3E I found myself doing much the same thing. Using very little and ignoring 90%+. The only main difference for me this time around was even though I ignored so much of it, I was still open to using most of it sometime down the road. So all these extra books in 3E have much more "potential" for my using them in the future, where as with 2E after I combed through the books I had no desire to go back to them. No further use possible for me. I could have burned or got rid of them and I would never have missed them. With 3E I have to admit that I regularly like to read through them for new ideas to use. Since I am most excited by products that give me new ideas, or neat twists on old ideas, I have to admit that 3E has been the best edition for me on that particular front. I still have the same over all feeling with 3E that 2E gave me. Too much stuff for a "simple" game. But I do get a lot more re-reading mileage this time around. So how does your experience compare this time around? [/QUOTE]
