[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7584701, member: 97077"] To be fair and so as not to take credit, it's not really "my playstyle." I'm just doing what the rules say to do. "My playstyle" is mostly to drink Irish whiskey and make up silly NPC names and ridiculous premises (stay tuned for one on Monday). I'd have to read the D&D 3e rules again to distill out of there what approach best works with the rules. I imagine it's largely similar except that the mechanics are more "forward" on the player side. I played the game for 8 years, but back then I was doing what many DMs do - playing how I think D&D is played regardless of what approaches the rules of that edition by their design support. I learned my lesson the hard way when I switched to D&D 4e and found the game was not working as well is it could be. That's when I had the epiphany that I should be adapting my approaches to support the rules of the game, not using the same approach regardless of the game. (Learning Dungeon World helped a lot with this too.) [/QUOTE]
