Um the 3ed and 3.5ed Rants,Raves.

I ain't going to bring up any mechanics or what not but have any of you noticed this is the same stuff that was argued about when 2e went to 3e. Its like cutting and pasting Eric's old message board from 3 years ago. Maybe thats why Morrus is having that contest thingy about bringing back Eric's old feel. Since we are having the same arguments lets at least have the boards look like they did back then.

And Morrus, make sure you keep this one so when 3.5ed comes out it will look the same when we all start arguing about haste, rangers and the shield spell.

Thanks

Good point - and, going back farther, I remember reading old letters to the editor in Dragon magazine back when they were going to put out 2E. Those sounded very similar to the rants I have seen relating to 3E and 3.5.

Having been in this community since the beginning, it's almost comforting to see the same rants and same discussions all over again (though it's not fun putting out the same flames, however). The advice I offered then, I'll offer now - look at the content, see if you like it, buy it if you do. If not, keep using the old. I know this community will keep supporting all things d20, as far as I know, and the same discussions will continue until 4th edition comes out. (I would estimate 2008 for that.)

I would have to agree with what Henry has posted!

I wrote an entire 500 word rant about just this thing - http://www.suryvial.com/articles.php

We, as gamers, bitch about everything.

Your analysis of 'whining' is interesting. Many people seem to treat complaining AT ALL as whining, and I've seen many points which were IMO valid dismissed offhand as whining.

As with all my rants I attempted to critically analyze what I see as the problem and then offer a solution to that problem.
