[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 500570, member: 518"] The choices did not exactly fit my case. I started with the brown books, then moved onto a hybrid of 1E and the OD&D and B/X sets, then quit D&D for Runequest-2, Espionage/Justice, Inc., and a few other game systems of the time period .I then quit playing tabletop RPG’s for about 15 years and got back into the hobby more or less “full time” in 1998 (I had bought the 2E books in 1996, and started to stay up to date with the hobby, but did not play). Ran a 2E campaign for awhile. Had a 2 failed 3E campaigns after it’s release (we just didn’t like the rules complexity underneath the smoother mechanics). Played some other stuff for about a year. Recently started running a few 3E games using my typical “rules light” approach to gaming instead of going by the books, and we had much more fun than we did previously with the system. We are still undecided if we will stick with 3E ‘full time” or not for fantasy gaming… there are other fantasy systems we like better overall (Exalted, Earthdawn, and Lejendary Adventure in particular.) And we are considering a Basic/Expert D&D run as well. [/QUOTE]
