Holy cow, you just gave me a freaking great idea. Idea No more newspaper for packaging things up that I sell, at least for the time being. I will just start using the pages from the few 3E books that I do own from now on.

If anything I actually think that for those settings 3e is a good system. It meshes well with the settings. There you happy BtB . I have bared my soul to the internet and will now have my grognard card revoked at the next meeting and maybe even be tarred and feathered. And let me tell you thats a lot or tar and feathers to use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have had a a high school D&D group, a college D&D group and a post college D&D group, with some members crossing over to two or even all three. One member of my high school AD&D group visited my post college AD&D group right before 2nd edition appeared. He was dumbfounded by all the changes in the rules, new classes and the different way the game played...and it was the same game, but altered by the appearance of Unearthed Arcana and a few other books, as well as about 1000 house rules and Dragon magazine articles. He felt like it was a whole different game. It wasn't, it was just the same game with more rules. My point is simply this: 3.5 edition really is AD&D with Unearthed Arcana and other books, combined with about 1000 house rules and Dragon magazine articles with an attempt at game balance and a consistent system. In short: 3.5 is AD&D with fewer arguments.
