Would you play D&D if the sacred cows were sacrificed?

[QUOTE="Diremede, post: 3075825, member: 7964"] Okay the game isn't exactly a board game like Hero Quest, learn in 5 minutes and your on your way, but to PLAY the game you really only need 1 book and it is fairly simple to learn unless you have the IQ of Forest Gump, (but I have played this game with extreme idiots and find that they pan out just fine). to DM you need 3. I mean you can digest the basics of the game by just reading the examples in each of the sections, and really basics are all that you need. As for the monthly FAQ, well I don't subscribe to their magazine and couldn't tell you what questions are raised or answered in the FAQ as I am sure they are asked by people who can't just make a decision on a rule and stick with it so they go to something they think is "official". Truly I don't care about the FAQ, unless its in the book or a house rule its not part of my games and thats a FAQ, and I have very few house rules. I'm not real sure how anyone thinks the wizard or the sorcerer is too hard or too complicated. If your a wizard you cast spells. You have a spell book. You memorize X amount of spells per day and then cast them. The next day you do the same thing. Don't know, but that is pretty simple to me. There is not a single class in the book that a 12 year old with the appropriate reading level can't understand or figure out, so yeah I'm going to have to stick to simple and easy to learn. [/QUOTE]
