[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3337858, member: 172"] Well, it's really up to you if it's worth it or not, but let me offer this: I was a long time 2e player with my hand-tuned 2e house rules, and was seriously considered sticking with those ad infinatum when 3e came along. I was just about to junk it for parts, and it did seem like a lot of work to switch over. But what I did do is start a second 3e game while my 2e game was ongoing. Within a month, I was hooked. The main selling point was the more complete and flexible format of 3e monsters; before 3e, I mainly used intelligent races that could have class levels as adversaries; other monsters tended to be throwaway encounters. Now, with 3e, I could make an interesting NPC of nearly any intelligent creature. So, I switched over to 3e and became more and more happy with the decision. Looking back, I don't know how I put up with certain 1e/2e conventions. As for problems with longtime players... there'll be a few, like reluctance to play combinations not possible in 2e (like Dwarven wizards) and misremembering spells that have changed. But my experience is that won't last too long, and in the long run, it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
