[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1575830, member: 2205"] I guess I am a 1e/2e "hatah". I played around in Basic for a while which was fun, and doodled with 1e, but it really turned me off because it didn't work well for the kinds of games I really wanted to play, it seemed. I peregrinated through various other games, especially Werewolf, because at heart I'm a combat junkie who wants to think he's a method actor of a player, I think. 2e completely did not incite me to take another serious look at D&D. 3e, however, finally broke through my anti-D&D fog and brought me back in like a bull in a china shop. Now, however, I'm turning away from D&D slightly, but ironically, I don't really want to play anything that's not d20 anymore. Go figger. I really like the CoC game, Star Wars, d20 Modern, the Conan RPG, and other, pulpy yet not D&D-ish fantasy type games. My own homebrew is an almost ridiculous hodge-podge of rules Midnight, Unearthed Arcana, Arcana Unearthed, Rokugan, and Call of Cthulhu, but I think it's tons of fun to run, and my players seem to be digging the dark swashbuckler feel, as near as I can tell. That's what I'd really like to see D&D move too, although since we have alternate d20 games that already do that admirably, I guess it's hardly necessary for D&D to move in that direction just so I can have a game that matches my taste. Short answer -- no, I don't miss them. :) [/QUOTE]
