[QUOTE="Breakdaddy, post: 2031841, member: 6608"] I can only speak for my personal experiences, but I feel that a lot of what you are feeling comes from the knowledge that most new 3.x books you are buying will be written in a sterile, monotone voice with tons of crunch and little inspirational material. This is not true for ALL of this material, but I find it to be most true for the WOTC releases and it carries over quite a bit to the D20 stuff out there as well. I, too, started losing this "warm fuzzy" feeling towards the end of 2e's life. The players option books were also quite crunch heavy and uninspiring on the whole, which really dissapointed me. I have recently begun a game of C&C and some of this feeling has returned to me, which was pretty damn cool. Sadly, I suspect the feeling will never come back altogether and in the doses it once came in. So I suspect, as some others have suggested, that at least a bit of this comes from having so much experience with the game. It is truly difficult to surprise us "old school" gamers anymore.
