[QUOTE="Mr. Lobo, post: 2049709, member: 7694"] I can't really answer the question per se because I've never played 2E. I have played various basic versions (Holmes, Moldvay, and Mentzer) and AD&D, however. I [I]watched[/I] a 2E game played over several weeks and was thinking of joining the group ( I got an offer to join and they were a good low key group) but then I started working PT for a WoTC store and my free time vanished. One of the perks of working for WoTC was running a gaming session in store for the customers. I also gamed in, or ran, two out of store sessions with friends. Well, currently I am back to running a Basic edition of the game (Moldvay). I've come to the conclusion that I am just not very good at keeping track of the way that all the rules interlock and affect each other. Out of the three 3E groups that I played or DM'ed in, two of them were very concious of following the rules to the letter and it really bogged down the game. I love the theory of 3E rules and how everything fits together. I want to get another 3E game going sometime (or be a player) and give it another crack. Re-reading the rules has got my fire stoked and hopefully all it will take is a lot more practice to master the system. But right now I prefer an older edition for my style and for ease of playability. [/QUOTE]
