[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 3391146, member: 4134"] I am at home in 3rd edition! Probably not. It won't be the good old days any more. The sense of wonder will be gone, since you now know everything. You're grown older, and it's likely that things that greatly amused you back then will bore you now. Plus, now that you're used to 3e's improvements, the older rulesets flaws will be all the more apparent. It's the same for me and computer/video games: Sometimes I'll sit there fondly remembering some game I used to play when I was younger. I then hunt down the game, get it to run on my current systems, play - and am appalled! The graphics sucks compared to the eye-candy you get in games of that sort now (didn't I use to adore this game for its beauty?); the controls, adequate back then, are clunky now; the story isn't what I remember it to be, and the jokes aren't funny, just silly. And no matter how amazed I was back then about this plot twist or that revelation, I know it all by heart, I just sit there listening to the "secret" villain thinking how he'll betray me in 10 minutes, and how I'll kill him for that in 20. The thing about nostalgia is that you usually only remember the good stuff. Your memory tends to forget the stuff that annoyed you, and what remains is the stuff you enjoyed. You can always try and see if the magic will work again, but chances are that the sense of wonder will not come from something very old, but instead from something new (to you, at least). Go date older women ;) :p [/QUOTE]
