I've been sitting here looking at all my 3.5 books. Been using frank & K's Tome series for a while(and yes I do enyjoy it quite a bit) but as I pondered the state of D&D and checked a couple times in the past 2 hours for the Underpowered Mundanes v Caster thread, I began to consider somethings that bother me.
1. Pathfinder.
Yea pretty much that. I'm never going to play 4.0, and hell now they're producing those trading card enhancements for D&D and I just kinda threw my hands up at Wotc. So yea... pathfinder. It bothers me, irritates me on a profound level that the next nearest company just did do ANYTHING particularly good for the game. I'm leaning towards they broke even...
So I sat and thought about the threads I'd read and the Tome Series, and other things I'd seen... and I was reminded of Szatany, who left the game many years ago, who I even made a feat or two for when I didn't know very much the state of the game, and I wonder if there might be some salvation for me there.
The trouble with the tome series is ... well I think its largely people hate frank trollman,(or love him but mostly its the first sadly) that and the idea of "Power up everyone!" sits wrong on lots of shoulders.
When you get to things like the wish economy and the such some people just
, so its a loss out the door. . . but what if we looked back a bit for the future of 3.5.
Its a largely completed system, free to use, free to distribute and add to... I'm not in the mindset of Everything sucks like some people... I'm in the mind of not being pleased with the most popular options, ever been there? So I'm curious to know what the optimizers think of it. Briefly, I like the sorceror and the barbarian, notice the druid isn't uber but still interesting.
Is there, anyone else that remembers, and or has used this stuff?
Edit: might help if I offered up a link to the liquid materia wiki.
