Maybe a new setting is what I need to enable me to enjoy 3e more.

[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 324100, member: 1013"] I've been running a Greyhawk game since we started 3e. I have been enjoying the game less and less as we have went along, getting to the point now where I am planning on switching the game back to an older edition after the adventure is over. Maybe the problem is that I don't think Greyhawk is modeled very well with the 3e rules set? I've got to argue with my players over why I don't want dwarven arcane magic users, half orc Paladins, sorcerers at all, and other race/class combos. Why I want to slow down advancement to make high levels really mean high levels. Maybe I need to make a fresh break from Oerth and start running a setting that was designed for 3e? I've been intrigued by the Scarred Lands, but I don't want to have to invest in 3-4 more hardcover books and various softcover suppliments to get something out of it. Is that the case? Are there any other settings that I should be investigating? I love Oerth more than any other setting, but I know my players want to play 3e for...well what I call powergaming reasons. They want more Kewl Powerz! But I don't think Oerth has the same flavor and feel under the new rules and Gazetter and I don't want to bastardized it into a Forgotten Realms pt2. [/QUOTE]
