[QUOTE="Geron Raveneye, post: 3711520, member: 2268"] Heh, personally I simply ignore them. Shadowrun is still 1E with me, with a few houserules that practically make 2E unnecessary for me (and I LIKE variable damage staging :p ), and I didn't jump on the L5R 2E bandwagon either...which makes a port to 3E unnecessary, too. And so far, every time I found people to play those with me, they had fun. I guess it's the fact that, for each game, I managed to find a way to get rid of what bothered me with a few houserules, so I didn't need any "fixes" that came with a new edition. In contrast to that, my switch to 3E was promted by a LOT of enthusiasm towards the new rules in the PHB, created by all the "Countdoen to 3E" articles back then in [i]Dragon Magazine[/i]. 3E really looked easier, more flexible, and at the same time more robust, than 2E was at that time...and it is, up to a certain point. So basically, that was the only change I made because I thought the new version would be better than any houserules I came up with for 2E. And because I was given the PHB for my birthday. :lol: [/QUOTE]
