Keep in mind that, despite my criticism, I think D&D is a good game. I like it as a player, but I don't like to DM it (and I think Akrasia said something similar about what he thinks of D&D3x). For me, there are several ways out of this dilemma: (i) making the game more rules-light, but I see that most people don't want to trade the loss of some player options for making the life of the GM easier; (ii) making the game more modular; the logical and integrated concept of D&D3x makes it harder to remove complicating aspects from the game without touching its core, unlike the situation with the old hotchpotch of AD&D, where fuddling with one subsystem didn't have much effect on others.(iii) doing something about the prep chore for GMs who don't have the system internalized and/or don't have the prep time (as Mythmere1 mentioned). We will see whether anyone comes up with an easy solution for this problem.</blockquote>
