[QUOTE="Pozatronic, post: 1759781, member: 21699"] AD@D 2e broke my RPG playing Cherry. We played and played and played that damn thing. We played home brews, we played FR (the 1e boxed set). We started to get bored with it...but wait, what's this...Spelljammer...hmm. That lasted a very short while, but It was pretty neat and we did have a lot of fun with it...but then Dark Sun came along and we ate it up till we were full. Then we got into Rifts...untill we realized the rules were awful (but what neat toys they had). After that it was Cyberpunk 2020, where we had the longest running campaigns I've ever played in. So simple. So fun and easy and fresh...and so Simple...so unlike AD&D 2e. We didn't even think about going back, for all those reasons stated above. Then came along 3e, and it's actually not to dissimilar from Cyberpunk 2020. You actually use your stats, and they have skills, not silly proficiences [spelling]. Cyberpunk is hands down my favorite system, but 3x D&D is pretty damn close. I've thought about doing things with 3e that you could never ever do with 2e! It's so inclusive and so easy to manipulate. I wouldn't go back to 2e for a million....ok, I would. That's alot of money. [/QUOTE]
