Message: <blockquote data-quote="Barastrondo" data-source="post: 4897023" data-attributes="member: 3820">I'd play 3 or 3.5 again, but mostly at lower levels. I found my play style just doesn't work well once the levels start getting into double digits, or at least if there are casters involved. E6 would be fun to try. My favorite GM at the moment, though, has adopted 4e, and I run more than I play, so it seems unlikely at the moment.But if I may be so gauche, I would say that your relationships with various editions could be like relationships with significant others. For some people, 3e is the girlfriend you realize you didn't appreciate like she deserved at the time, and only dating someone else makes you realize that. For others, it's like the girl you have no regrets about, who just wasn't the one. And for some, they talk about it like it's the psycho ex that you have no idea why they were dating in the first place. It's an iffy metaphor, but I think it's important because it's not necessarily about value judgments — it's just chemistry. It's not that the person you broke up with is a terrible person, it's just that it didn't work out.I actually considered going back and trying 2e again; I had a lot of really great gaming during the 2e days, and though I know it's silly to try recapturing the spirit of younger and crazier times, some part of me wonders what it would be like to run 2e knowing what I do now about running games in general.My wife, however, is less experimental. Suggestions of a D&D other than 4e elicit the look. You're married, Piratecat. You know the look.</blockquote>
