[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5607044, member: 40177"] We played a game of 3e the other night. Something like three years after I put my hands in the air and declared "I will never run a game of 3e again!" The last year of running 4e convinced me that system was not for me. After talking to a lot of people, first and foremost being my group, we decided to give 3e another chance... with a few big changes (e6 being the biggest) For me, the moment that really made me smile as a GM was when the psion tried to use Mind Thrust on a Scorpion, assuming the usual 4e philosophy that every power works on every monster. That was fun. On the the flip side, one player took out two monsters for most of the fight with a well-placed Entangle spell, and it wasn't in the 4e "save ends" sort of vein - those monsters were out of the fight for ten rounds! I guess what I'm saying is, it was fun to play a game that fit my GM style a bit more. It felt a bit more like the players were running characters in a fictional reality, and less like they were moving game pieces across a board. That may come off as a 4e jab, but to me, it's more like this game just jives better with my playstyle, and I'm actually more excited about gaming than I've been in a while. :) [/QUOTE]
