I keep wanting to tell players, go faster!Took fewer rounds - nah, I like 4-8 rounds, and have nearly full control over how long I want an encounter to be as DM. As player, if an encounter doesn't look like we're winning on round 6-7, I start looking for get away options.Was more dangerous for the PCs - I make my own encounters. They are as dangerous as I want them to be. As player, I've witnessed the same treatment from other DM's.Involved tracking fewer conditions, marks, etc - definitely. I really don't care to remember if my monster has -2 to his will defense (save ends). Just remember to give yourself a +2 to hit. In general I wish everything was bonuses, and penalties were fewer. Penalties are always a pain to remember.Has longer lasting effects (slower recovery) - meh, I'm fine the way things are. Back when I played Rolemaster, I used to run around with -70 penalties for broken arm, fractured hip, etc. This is not what I'm looking for in D&D.Was generally simpler - it's easy enough to learn the basics, but timing issues are getting complicated. I do wish certain aspects were simplified. Also wish there weren't 2378 feats.Was generally more realistic/simulationist - no way. Simplicity/fun over realistic/simulationist approach all the way.Does not change at all, its perfect! - it's perfectly serviceable as long as you don't mind introducing a few house rules, and are liberal at adjusting encounters to taste.Came with rot grubs - mmm, rot grubs.I deny the premise of this poll and the sick internet based society that produced it - 'tis getting a little annoying, but I can always find nuggets I can use in these discussions.</blockquote>
