[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8053516, member: 4534"] I got tired of 2nd edition in the 1990s and came back to D&D with 3rd edition. Overall I liked the 3rd edition rules and most of my problems with the game were pretty minor. I really loved the idea of Prestige Classes, but I hated how a player had to plan a roadmap in order to get to that class. i.e. If something came up in the game and they were interested in Arcane Archer, oh, too bad, you didn't take these skills two levels ago. What I most remember is the glut of d20 products and how bad many of them were. The d20 versions of Legend of the Five Rings and Deadlands were flat out horrible and let's not forget the myriad of books with magic items, terrible adventures, and even worse character classes. Some of them were gems though. Games like Spycraft, Call of Cthulhu d20, and adventure paths like Rise of the Runelords were fantastic. But I can remember my FLGS had some of those d20 books on their shelves for years. [/QUOTE]
