I am.

Equally indifferent to all the above.

I am looking forward to Warhammer 4e, am I in the right thread?

Dammit man, stop having fun in systems other than d20, you must focus that rage.

I've never been a big DnD fan, and after a game of OSRIC, I know it's a system which has all that I need from DnD. Especially once I master it enough to houserule to hell out of it.

This is the wrong thread no matter what you like.

Loved 3e. Don't care for 4e. Hope 5e is amazing.

Flawless Victory.

Don't care really. I am playing and running Barbarians of Lemuria for my fantasy kick and getting that old school role playing feel.

Dungeons and Dragons just doesn't scratch that itch anymore.  D20 is a way over complicated system and I hated in the 3.5 and 4ed days wasting time looking up rules.   BOL is easy for combat and everything else and games go much smoother (ALA the Red Box Days)

BoL is a gem. The careers and magic system are both flexible and full of character. And of course the advancement rules whereby you gain XP by squandering all the treasure earned the previous adventure is pure awesome.

Same.

Yep.  It really feels like gaming did back in the red box days, and those were the days where me gaming was the most fun.

I don't need difficult systems with rules for everything.  My group can agree on various things when we need to wing it.  And I don't have the time to learn difficult game systems anymore.  I used to have the time, but now I would rather spend my limited game time actually playing, not learning large tomes of rules.

The thing is there is no shortage or rules-light games, but often they are just combat engines or leave the character feeling a bit sameish. The trick BoL pulls off is to be rules-light and still produce full fleshed out characters.

I thought 3e was okay, but more trouble to play/GM that it was worth. I though 3.5 moved too far away from TSR D&D (and made combat far too minis-oriented) and therefore had no real interest in it. I did not like 4e at all as it was aimed at players who liked all the stuff I was least interested in in D&D (and stressed combat even more) while removing moast of the stuff I was more interested in.

I'll certainly look at 5e, but I'm not really excited about it as I don't think WOTC is all that likely produce I game that is better for me than the versions of D&D I already own, like, and play. However, I'm hopeful that 5e will be close enough to traditional D&D that adventures and campaign settings for it might interest me and be easily usable with the versions of D&D I most enjoy.

I play Shadowrun.
