[QUOTE="RFisher, post: 2057573, member: 3608"] 2e didn't really run me off. (It may have actually made me stick with AD&D a bit longer.) If 2e had been 3e, though, I may not have not jumped ship when I did. 3e has a lot of the things I was looking for when I left AD&D. It's hard to say what would have happened then. In the long run, I still probably would have switched to other games eventually & finally come back to really appreciating OAD&D & classic D&D in a way I didn't in the 1990s. I think you may be right, though. If 2e lost half the AD&D players, a 3e-esque 2e might have lost even more. I almost wish that I hadn't been so quick to switch to AD&D. Probably most of the things that I like about 3e is where its similar to classic D&D rather than AD&D. (In the late 1990s, I'd been thinking about a simplified AD&D that borrowed a lot from classic D&D. That was why I was so excited about 3e--because it included, or seemed to include, a lot of the ideas I was considering.) Still, I wouldn't trade my AD&D experiences for anything. I'm happy to have rediscovered classic D&D & don't really regret that I didn't stick with it all along. [/QUOTE]
