But it also depends on what you mean by 'boring'. If 'heavily combat oriented' in fact implies boring, to you, then that will simplify matters. . . even if it doesn't make it easy to find a ton of suitable (and good) D&D adventures. Basically, *all* editions of D&D are 'heavily combat oriented', by default I'll hasten to add. None of them absolutely has to be played that way, but well, they're all built that way - 'kill things and take their stuff' is an extremely well known D&D-ism with good reason, generally speaking.Mostly, yes [in theory]. However, using 3.0 material in 3.5, or vice versa, is something of a hassle. I don't recommend it. Pick one, and stick with it, unless you enjoy - or even truly don't mind - conversion work.All editions of D&D are designed with physical - or at least visual (e.g., on computer) - accessories in mind, for the purpose of representing battlefields and the beings fighting on them. Again, you *can* go against this - and certainly, some do - but even so, I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you're new to the system being used. It just makes things a heck of a lot easier most of the time, and honestly there isn't much of a downside (even the costs involved can be dramatically reduced by using counters, or even just a board and markers, whatever) to going this way. The stuff doesn't need to be used for non-combat scenes, of course, so yeah, it's just a convenient way of making battles easier to sort out. In my experiences with D&D, anyhow. Whatever works, naturally.</blockquote>
