Have you decided to change systems?

[S'mon]

I switched from running 3.5e to C&C last December, but I'm still happy to play 3.5e.

Like others have mentioned, I'm not 100% in love with the tone of D&D right now.

There is a middle ground between playing pure D&D d20 and abandoning Dungeons & Dragons-style gaming.

True20 is what I like now. Others have mentioned C&C. These are very nice OGL alternatives to running D20... you have the same general mechanics without the same level/style of micromanagement that you need to run D&D 3.0/3.5e.

Yeah, I haven't run D&D 3.x in a long time, and even now I have started on my 2nd campaign using Castles and Crusades. So I guess I have kind of given up on it a bit. C&C scratches the D&D-esque itch for me and I'm pretty happy with it.

Otherwise I mostly run the storyteller system, and have in fact found myself drawn more and more to White Wolf products over the past year, especially their limited run games.

You make it sound like a switch - either all you play is 3.x D&D, or you play a single specific something else.

I currently run a 3.xE D&D game. I play in a GURPS game. I the past I've played/ran three or four different systems in overlapping campaigns. I haven't been married to a single system in decades.

So, did I switch? No. Do I play other things? Yes.

Same thing here. I run D&D 3.5 and Vampire the Requiem. Played tons of other games and systems and don't think one system's ever going to stop me from playing others, even though I do have preferences like anybody else. Fact is, I like variety in my gaming diet.

I've just finished my first read-through of the WFRP v2 core book and I'm seriously considering using it for the next campaign set in my homebrew, CITY. It's a better fit.

I agree. I'd be happy to play it as well. But when it comes to running I don't have time for 3.5 anymore. Maybe I can get someone to trade me my core 3.5 for C&C.

I'm really glad you popped in to say this diaglo. In all seriousness, I am.

Oh, I'm not saying you can't have variety. In my situation we have time for only one system with all of the boardgames we like to play. That one system needs to be one that we can have long term sustainable characters and setting. And that system has changed for us. That's all I'm saying.

I am currently running two D&D 3.5 games (Ptolus and The Red Hand of Doom) and I play in another (The Savage Tide). However, I recently picked up the C&C player’s handbook and flat out feel in love with it. I am still planning on continuing with my current 3.5 games but given the chance, I might switch to C&C. A lot of it depends on whether or not I can find anyone to play it with. Maybe I can convert some of my friends...
