Long-time 3.5 players and GMs say it still delivers deep character customization and that they see no reason to switch, with some still running it today. A few found it too unwieldy to run, one GM hated running it, and the thread is mostly nostalgia, edition comparison and OGL talk, so actual play detail is thin. 9 firsthand · 117 comments
The thread is mostly about 5e versus older editions and about design philosophy. The few firsthand 3.5e reports are mixed: some people say it played like any other D&D and some still prefer it, while others found it heavy to run and prone to adversarial play. 5 firsthand · 352 comments
The few people who describe actually playing 3.5e say it was fun for building characters and monsters. They also say it was unbalanced and buggy, and that high-level characters broke the game. Most of the thread is about 5e, PF2e and design debate, not table experience. 4 firsthand · 229 comments
