[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 2963918, member: 813"] You haven't really been clear on what is the essential flavor you don't want to lose. You don't like spell preparation which to me a keystone to being a D&D game. You want less tactical combat. there are many people who play 3.x without figures and maps and they have no problems handwaving the tactical aspects of the game. I gave you another suggestion for simplifying combat. How about giving us a rough outline of what your holy grail would look like so we can better search for a solution? I've played "D&D" with the HERO system rules and I've played "D&D" with home brewed narrative rules. D&D is elves and half-orcs and dungeon crawls and spellcasting dragons and ghouls and carrion crawlers and retired 30th level fighters who now run the local pub and the damsel in the dungeon is succubus. Any RPG can support what I call D&D because D&D is just a style of fantasy RPG. So, could you be more specific about what you are looking for? Because I don't think I've ever played any edition of D&D by all of the RAW and yet for over 25 years I've been playing D&D. [/QUOTE]
