So fellows.
We've played the hell outta 3.5. And we've played a LOT of SWRPG (which is pretty much more 3.5).
But I'm guessing none of you (except maybe Ben???) have played D&D ZERO. As in the first ever ever ever tabletop RPG EVER!!!
The style of the game is totally different and totally unique while still being D&D. And I think we owe it to ourselves to at least skim over the general concepts.
