Victoria Rules
What I'd like to see, rather than a re-release of 2e and-or 1e, is ongoing official support for the various previous iterations of the game. Yes, the local car dealership only wants to sell you the new 2009 model, but they keep parts on hand for many older models...
It's not like they won't sell me any new stuff...so far, I've bought far more 4e releases than I expected to going in, yet without any intention of playing or running that system.
And I've been DMing 1e for almost 25 years and I *still* haven't figured out how THAC0 works...mostly because I just look at the chart instead. I never understood, in fact, why THAC0 was invented, as it took what seemed a simple system and made it complicated: I don't care whether your swing can hit AC 0, I care whether it can hit the AC of what you're swinging at! So why bring AC 0 into the mix?
