[QUOTE="Kid Charlemagne, post: 1576048, member: 93"] 1979. All versions from booklets to basic set to AD&D to 2nd edition to Player's Option on up to 3rd Edition. Count me in as another who prefers 3E/3.5. I can see how some might like the way they could just roll six stats and some hit points and have a complete NPC. There's an interesting mindset that pops up in gamers from time to time that involves being a completist - as if every NPC needs that full detailing, as if every product [i]has[/i] to be bought. I'm more than thrilled to just use the "standard" MM stats for my orcs. I may roll up some stats for a leader, but the grunts can get by with that standard 15 strength or whatever it is. Stats for monsters and support for putting monsters on equal terms with player characters was a big part of me switching to 3E. When it first came out I had no intention of switching, but after a few sessions of testing out the rules I started converting over my campaign world, which had been going on for 12 years with 2nd edition rules. I've never looked back. I've never wanted to look back. I had fun all those years, but I'm having as much fun now, if not more. [/QUOTE]
