One of my players said, shortly after we switched, something like "Wow. I'm NEVER going back. This is the one true edition". 3e has its warts, but I much prefer it to AD&D. My games are much more about killing things and taking their stuff than they are about "the immersion in the story, the fantasy, the role-playing". Story happens along the way, and we certainly do roleplay, but we are also having lots of fun killing things and taking their stuff. And 3e allows us to do that in dynamic and varied ways, and to play varied and interesting characters that we never could in AD&D. My party includes a dwarf psychic warrior that uses a plethora of tricks and powers to do all sorts of crazy stuff on the battle-field, and a pixie paladin.  I've played a half-giant and a mad druid/cleric of the storm lord. I revel in the options and variety allowing me to play (as a DM or player) lots of characters, and do it all in a game of interesting resource-management and tactics.3e has it warts. But I don't expect 4e will become the rules-light game you seek. It will instead continue to revel in the variety of options and fun combat tactics that I like so much. Which is why it will be a great game for me, but I think you'll be better off with the Rules Cyclopedia.</blockquote>
