[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 2151389, member: 10177"] I read several threads today that seem to indicate one edition of D&D rules them all, and that no other game system or "interpretation" holds a candle to 3E D&D. So I want to know, does anyone, or everyone, really believe that 3E D&D is the end all, be all RPG? Or are there any, or tons, of other RPG's out there worth playing? For the record, I play lots of different RPG's. I even prefer others over 3E D&D (GASP!!). Do I think there is a system that "rules them all", no. Every system has its strengths and weaknesses. Do I think 3E is the best? Not for me. I don't like the endless number of feats. I think if I threw out all of the feats and PrC's I would actually like 3E D&D a whole lot better. Unfortunately, Fighters in particular, would suck without feats. Others like all the detailed "building" that they can do. I recognize the appeal of that. I even like it at times. However, I don't like it when I have to build a half dozen, or more, NPC's and spend hours deciding what "build" will make them a challenge to my players "builds". So I wanted something simpler, and I found it. Does that mean I think 3E sucks and that my new find is awesome? No, it just means I found a system which I "prefer". Does it mean I will never play 3E? No, because I can have fun, and lots of it, playing 3E. Does it mean I'll never DM 3E again? I sure hope so, but I could probably be persuaded (coerced) into it after my current 3E campaign ends. So am I saying 3E sucks? No, I'm just saying I prefer Pepsi over Coke, but I''ll still drink Coke if that is all that is in the fridge. So what is your real attitude about 3E and all the other RPG's out there? Are you a "3E rules all" kind of person, or are you a "I'll play anything as long as I have fun" kind of gamer, or are you some "other" definition? [/QUOTE]
