Thinking about running a 3rd Edition game
After carefully purchasing and reading the 4th edition book and reading all sorts of stuff I think I am going run some 3rd edition instead. Besides the awesomeness of using the same book I used in high school in the '80's, it is "rules light" by comparison.
The gaming group I am in (Pathfinder in a modified Eberron setting) is pretty into roleplaying and non combat resolution, so having a bunch of extra weapons related rules will just complicate things and won't add to the story telling.They are pretty used to some hand wavy Going since our usual GM is a writer and and actor who is mostly winging it all the time (he does it very well).
Given that this is likely to just a diversion and a chance to give the regular GM a chance to play for once, I want to keep things simple. It also means that I don't have to do any conversions if I am going to run any of the published modules (of which I own all).
Have most of you gone 4th edition, or are there still a bunch of 3rd edition hold outs?
