[QUOTE="Gnarlo, post: 2049119, member: 2995"] I stopped playing D&D at the end of 1e, probably as a result of burnout on DMing, lack of time, moving on to other things, and poverty giving the feeling that "great, they want me to pay them all over again for stuff I already have", much like the feeling some have expressed over 3.5 :) I didn't pick up D&D again until 3e came out, so pretty much 2e never had much appeal for me. I've since enjoyed picking up a lot of the ESD background materials, particularly the Forgotten Realms and Planescape stuff, as I enjoy the fluffiness of what came out. I look at a lot of the other releases from that time as power creep and munchkinitis; understanding of course that many people look upon the releases from WOTC over the last couple years ("Races of...", "The Complete...") as being the same spirit. Maybe its just having a real job and a bit more disposable income now that helps me to view current releases in a more favorable light? [/QUOTE]
