    I was thinking about how I would run a kitchen sink 3.5 game in an old-school style (sandbox, encounters that may be unbalanced, exploration) and threw in the towel. Felt like a square peg in a round hole. But I do miss the system sometimes… what people say here about playing B/X in the 80s is how I felt with 3.5 in the 2000s.
