(IMO Unearthed Arcana really complicated 1ed and the Options did similar for 2ed).Is D&D harder then other games?  Now that really depends on the game but again I don't think thats what you are asking.So, in regards to the first, I do think that GMing D&D can be hard but is made up by the fact that it's pretty fast and easy for players.  D&D is a pretty ideal game to introduce a bunch of newbies to (if you're pretty confident at GMing).  I don't mean to impunge your GMing expertise, I haven't been around here long enough to know.  But if the rules seem to numerous, you only need to know the rules that you use.  If you don't have any clerics, you can disregard the turn undead rules.  No pugilists?  then ignore the grappling.  As long as your group is supportive in respecting your calls and then looking the rules up after the session.I haven't had most of the concerns you've listed.Just my thoughts.</blockquote>
