It’s a uniquely American prudishness. You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters from people saying they’ll never read you again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls.

You see, to me, the real truth is always a bigger turn on. And it doesn’t have to be a big deal, it could be anything. So I dunno. Send me your most pathetic moments. Your most anything, as long as it’s REAL. I mean, I want the size, the feel, the shape the smell… I want blood, sweat, and tears on the letters. And brains and ectocasm and cum spilled all over ‘em! HALLELUJAH!!!

3.5e hands down. I grew up with it, and I think it provides the most as far as tools for creativity goes. 4e brought it back down to a cookie-cutter board game. It’s harder to homebrew with it and way harder to do anything particularly badass. I don’t play with a map in 3.5e unless the party wants me to, and it runs more like a story because of that. I can’t see my self effectively doing that in 4e
I heartily disagree. In fact the only thing I can think of that makes it harder to homebrew is simply you not being familiar enough with the system. And I’ve seen plenty of my players do some badassness, much to my creatures’ dismay and death. The “Cloud of Murder” comes to mind…
I do agree that a battle map is more required in 4E, as there are more tactics and such bouncing off and around the players with effects, but we always use a map with a similar style in 3.5. So I think this is more on your players and your game style than anything else. Some players need to know EXACTLY how many feet/squares they are from enemies and such. Maps help with that.
