[QUOTE="Cerubus Dark, post: 1158191, member: 3386"] Again the main question becomes "Why play something that you don't like?" There are no guys in black suits waiting to give you a beat down for not playing by the new rules. There never was and never will be. My group likes 3.0, its very easy to do combat with, although now they are finding a lot of better improvments in the new 3.5 books for their classes, and as I look over the books (DMG/PHB/MM) I can see why they like the improvments. Although I perfer the combat system for 3.0 and thats what we use. Although I will say I like using minis in my games only because I have built a modular dungeon for my players to wander in. We have fun playing together, and this is why we play. If I don't like a rule from the book I rule 0 it, thats the best part of being the DM. Here are some of the rules I don't pay too much mind too unless there is a reason for it. Carrying Capacity Starvation/Thirst Having Rations Camping Again, if there is a reason for me to focus on one or more of these things such as they have not been to town in a while then yes they become a issue, and they have to deal with being out of rations or have to worry about camping out with the threat of a bandit attack at night. The point is no guys in suits have come to our games and tried to break our knee caps for not using all the rules that WoTC puts out. If your not happy with D&D 3.5 try Hackmaster by Kenzer and Co.
