I like the way that you are forced to make difficult choices when you generate a character and those choices will define that character from then on. It may not be exactly possible for a beginning character to have all the features of a Conan or a Fafhrd or an Elric, but I'm fine with that. There are other rule systems that allow that level of detail and I don't like any of them.

I would ask that we don't change much for the new edition KS
Some are proportionately overpriced. a few are underpriced. I've not seen any real movement for "no limit on skills" but a lot of "we allow extra skills past a cap as a house rule"... Me, I put a (more generous than SJ's) attribute cap, but allowed adding another "plus" in slots as if adding a full attribute point each... which worked nicely, as I didn't allow slots until Int was maxed out. But that was one campaign. And only one player got to that point... the Prootwaddle.
