[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6502949, member: 57914"] Well, while I do like the new direction D&D is headed I really don't think you could call it rules lite. At first I was totally.in thrall with the new edition but as I played it more I realized that while it's a vast improvement over 3.5 / 4E, it really isn't hitting my B/X tastes like I truely wanted. Just totally going by your post and the limited info It gave me to work with (and perhaps my seeing myself in it) I would question if perhaps you are not in the same boat as I. This edition is indeed a huge improvement but once the new glow and excitement fades, it just is too crunchy and has far too many fiddly bits for those of us who still seek simple in our D&D.
