D&D 3.0 was not an improvement on 1 and 2 in enough of the correct ways. From my perspective only, the basic resolution, saves, and skill system were improvements; the feats, prestige classes, multiclassing system, interwoven and interdependent nature of the rules ruined it. I would play and maybe run AD&D 2nd edition or Basic D&D, but I won't run or play 3.0+. I find it to be a bloated unplayable mess. That's just me, and by itself would not account for my extreme dislike of the game. What causes that is the fact that 90%+ of the gamers around here will not consider anything else. THAT yanks my chain, especially since I don't think the game comes even close to what I consider a fun experience. That's just the way it is. HERO is great if you like super detailed, do-it-yourself erector set sorts of rpgs. GURPS is OK if you like super detailed character generation and everything handed to you in a pre-digested sort of way. All in my own humble opinion...and remember, you asked. Now back to our regularly scheduled BRP goodness...which I can now indulge again, here in this wonderful new BRP site.
