[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 5663617, member: 10177"] I went back to old school gaming because I got so burned out it was do that or get out of gaming all together after 20 years. Even so, I think after you go back and apply some ideas you have learned from 3E and 4E as house rules, you may never go back to 3E and 4E. Just don't be afraid to do so, though. 3E and 4E have come up with some great ideas and clearer rules, use them when you see the need. I think your biggest challenge with your players is when the game becomes much more realistic again. They will be dealing with "save or die" again. I had players who had, and still have, a hard time dealing with that kind of intense realism. I have others who love it. So I hope your 4 can deal with that. Plus traps are going to become a serious threat again, since finding and disarming won't be so easy anymore. Plus they can kill you if you don't. So the adrenaline is going to get going much more, and much more intensely. Which I think is a good thing, but it can be hard for some people to deal with. Good luck, and have fun! [/QUOTE]
