There are bits and pieces from 3.0 that I wish they hadn't changed for 3.5. In truth though, if I were to do my 'ideal' version, I would start with the 3.5 version of the rules and start stripping things out to steamline it. But I would definately build something that was 3.5-lite rather than trying to hybridise the older versions.The things I really like about the old editions are the non-mechanical 'creative' bits. 1st Edition (and BD&D) had a lot of really cool adventures. 2nd Edition had some wonderful settings. It is those (or new things in the same style) that I would seek to adopt for an 'ideal version'.Of course, the best thing about that is that virtually all of those non-mechanical 'creative' bits are system-neutral, which makes running a 3.5e campaign in the Spelljammer setting, or using the old GDQ modules, relatively easy.(Oh, and all that misses the best part of D&D for me: being part of a good gaming group.)</blockquote>
