re: #158 BlueCanuck

I play many different systems, currently playing Shadowrun 4e, and D&D 3e (3.5 was far too broken according to the GM). I guess it all depends on how it’s run and what you are looking for.

I’m going to have to out myself as a D&D nerd here too. There aren’t any solid issues with 3e except for the glut of add-on content. If your group is willing to put their foot down on not allowing all of 3e’s supplements it’s fine. If you want to use every resource that Wizard’s published for that edition 3.5 fixes a lot of what is broken in 3e. However, if you do use all of the 3.5 + splat you see power creep in the more recently published materials. So if you are selecting ‘core’ options for your characters and designing encounters you are probably going to encounter problems with party/encounter balance even at low levels. Both systems have serious issues at high levels that were never really addressed.
