Message: <blockquote data-quote="barsoomcore" data-source="post: 1846660" data-attributes="member: 812">I run two very different campaigns.My Barsoom game, we use the battlemat, and a couple of the players are very familiar with the rules, and combats take a pretty long time, but it's a blast. The characters are 12th level now, and I have fun statting up their opponents for them. I like creating characters, so that's fun for me.My Kung-Fu Angels game features four completely inexperienced players, and we never use the battlemat, and I pretty much make stuff up on the fly. It's an absolute hoot, more like a game of Feng Shui than D&D, and it's just as much fun for me as Barsoom.I dunno. I find that while 3E has plenty of options, the system is consistent enough that my on-the-fly rulings are almost always very very similar to whatever the actual rule is. I find that as long as I have a few basic stats for an NPC, I can run a combat, but if I spend the time to really tweak them and detail them, I come up with all sorts of cruel and unpleasant tricks to play on my PCs.I have trouble sympathising with those who complain about the large numbers of feats or PrC's, though -- if you don't like 'em, don't use 'em. Sheesh. It's your campaign... it's your campaign... it's your campaign...</blockquote>
