[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 501144, member: 2205"] I really don't understand this post. I'm having much more fun in 3e than I ever had in any other version of D&D precisely because I left behind the style of gaming that you are talking about (not that we don't make quite a few silly comments during the game...) And rules heavy? What are you talking about? The rules are (generally) so simple and intuitive in 3e that you don't even [i]need[/i] to know them. Sure, combat and character creation are a little more complex, but for anything else the PCs want to do, you just eyeball the skill list, see what comes closest, assign a DC based on how difficult you think it should be and have 'em roll the d20. Rules for sneezing? C'mon. 3e is the best version yet as far as rules simplicity goes. If you get caught up in doing everything exactly as the book says, then sure, I can see you're problem. If you play as I described above, the system is the simplest one yet. I've also never understood the concern about flavor in the games rules. None of the games rules had much flavor. That's for the DM and his setting to provide. [/QUOTE]
