I don't want to quote Grymar again, but he hit it pretty much right on the head- I don't have anything against WOTC it's just that they're not producing a version of D&D I want to play.  There are aspects of 4E I like, certain rule techniques and mechanics, but overall, to me, it just doesn't feel like D&D anymore. One of the things I'd have LOVED from WOTC before they switched to 4.0 would have been a consolidated update to the entire 3.5 rules set.  A book that combined everything you needed to run and play a 3.5 game, AND that compiled all the various rules tweaks, updates and errata that were published in the plethora of splat books, into one volume.  That's what I had hoped the rules compendium was going to be (I mean, it was going to be the last 3.5 book ever published by them- so why not make it a comprehensive capstone book for the system, PLUS they had an excellent example from the past of just that in the original D&D Rules Compendium!! <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/rant.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rant:" title="Rant    :rant:" data-shortname=":rant:" />) but, sadly, that was not the case.  But now I don't have to care about that anymore because Paizo saw where WOTC dropped the ball (imho) and published that very thing. And they improved on it in almost every way (again, imho).  So basically what it boils down to is, WOTC doesn't make the D&D I like anymore, but Paizo does.  Now if I can only get Paizo to start their own version of the DDI. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
