Movie Ratings Regarding Sex Scenes Are Stupid!:
One phrase: "To participate in sexual intercourse in this country you must be 16 years of age or over, however, to watch it, you must be 18 years or over" - WTF?!?! I suggest that the people responsible for such a loop hole be promptly whacked over the head with a sack of potatoes for their blatant stupidity - duschbags!

Con:
3E is still essentially nothing more than wargaming with some rules for character interaction. It is a very detailed combat system. In creating 3E the designers strove to bring adventures "back to the dungeon," there was to be less emphasis on engaging in conversation with meaningless PCs. It shows. It is as much of a roleplaying game as you and your fellow players want it to be, but the rules emphasize combat and task resolution relating to it. 3E still suffers from a couple carryovers from past editions and what I consider to be some of the major flaws of D+D:
1) Elves are still striving to be Tolkein elves, tstill are creatures of nature, yet can detect secret doors.
Yet, in trying to make them their own, the designers are still sticking with the Elfquest archetype of the short elves. Explain to me why creatures attuned to plants and animals can find secret doors better than someone else…
2) Alignment- with games having evolved greatly from their inception (which was of course D+D), and most modern games ignoring alignment altogether, focusing instead on character interaction and motivation and not wanting to pigeonhole players specific behaviors, D+D's alignment system,
and even more the ability to detect alignment bugs me. Why are orcs and kobolds evil? This carryover from its wargaming roots makes it seem dated compared to many current games.
