[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 3039766, member: 20854"] It's more like AD&D than OD&D (although that may be what you meant). I think "GM vs. players" is more of a mind-set, and not really tied to the rules. It's nothing new -- you could do "GM vs. players" just as well in 3E, IMO. Some might even argue that 3E would be better for that kind of game, since the more detailed rules take away some of the DM fiat (supposedly, anyway). This makes me think that you're probably better off sticking with 3E. Hackmaster is basically AD&D with the amp turned up to 11, and the addition of the over-the-top parody/humor bits. I'd call Hackmaster the Spinal Tap of D&D. I'm a fan of the older versions of D&D, and prefer them, in many cases. (I agree with you that D&D has changed quite a bit, and that 3E is a good game, but I think plays very differently from the earlier versions.) I checked out Hackmaster, but it wasn't really for me. It was kind of funny to read, but too over-the-top for my tastes. I'd rather just play AD&D or C&C (my game-of-choice, these days). [/QUOTE]
