I played DnD back in high school, it was really fun because the guy who was our DM was very committed and was a long time player. He had elaborate stories and campaigns that went well together. I think our 1st campaign was we started out in a town where they were mustering troops for a big war and our little band gets caught up in it and we eventually become kind of this elite group sent on the hard missions (my fav was to capture this wizard in this fortress/school for magic users on the opposite side). I always liked to played wizard myself but yea they are sooo weak early on but later on the DM said I could prolly take on the entire group myself heh. Our group makeup was 2 rangers a monk a cleric a barbarian wizard and sometimes we had a thief and a druid.but they weren't there for most of it.

I've never played D&D (but a different fantasy P&P RPG shortly, "The Dark Eye" which is very popular in Germany).
But I love D&D-based computer RPGs.

Anyway, just wanted to say something about people who take the rules way too seriously. D&D 3rd edition is probably the most complex edition, and therefore a paradise for rule freaks.

In D&D 4th edition, things have been simplified a lot in order to put the fun in the foreground again, and the rules in the background. You might want to check into that if your friend annoys you too much.

Many gamers also have "house rules" which differ slightly from the original rules. If the majority of you doesn't like something, just handle it differently...

Its not that hes a rule freak. He just is effin annoying, and wants to be the center of attention. And he isn't my friend, but he is my brothers. So its just something I have to deal with.

How much the rules comes into play is much more dependent on the campaign style than on the system being used. If the campaign keeps resorting to hack and slash combat or a lot of skill checks, the game will be rules-centric regardless of the system, because going back to the rules is just going to happen to keep the game going. The solution really isn't to change the rules, but to figure out a style thats more appropriate to what you want. For example, two of the more fun campaigns I've been a part of involved solving murder-mysteries and acting as a band of thugs for a politician.
