[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 4507932, member: 54877"] I'm torn between ease of running it versus ease of prep. Those are both definitely huge strengths. I guess for now, I have to come down on the side of ease of prep. I did enjoy running it, and it was a breeze, even with 8 players and only one set of books. Heck, even the first game went well, which is rare for a new system. OTOH, based on previews, I expected the ease of prep thing to be something that only really shone the higher level the PCs went. What I didn't expect was ease of prep to be there from the get go, starting with 2nd level characters. It took me longer to do the 8 pregen PCs than it did to do 2 complete adventures. (And I was only doing the pregens because we only had one set of rules.) Moreover, I had a blast doing the adventures. For the first time since in almost 25 years--when I seemingly had unlimited time, I truly enjoyed every aspect of the prep. I've always enjoyed some of it, but there were always parts that seemed like work. This time, it was [I]relaxing and fun[/I]. I accomplished a lot in a short time. And I got to enjoy that on the first try. :) [/QUOTE]
