[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2894371, member: 19675"] Nah- D20/3.5 provides a certain focus on skills & tactics that might distract one from role-playing, but it wasn't [I]designed[/I] to hamper role-play. I'm another one of those guys who has played dozens of systems over the past 28yrs, and I've found that familarity with a system can lead to min-maxing at a subconscious level. I've also run into gamers who insist that every one of the 4 core roles of FRPGs (Warrior/Wizard/Priest/Rogue) gets filled in any campaign. OP, what you probably needed more than anything was a shakeup- something to get everyone out of their respective ruts. It could have been an unusual campaign idea; it happened to be trying a different system. But just remember, ANY system can be min-maxed, any system encourages certain play styles and PC concepts over others- you'll need to prepare yourself for the inevitable time when the min-maxing occurs in D6.
