The rules themselves are quirky but seem to make more sense the more you play with them(more so than other systems I've tried)The more I've gone back and played/hosted 2e in current year and compared it to my 3-5e experiences the more I am convinced that WotC remerging Basic and Advanced into a single product line was a mistake(in my personal opinion of course). Obviously what is done is done and I do not believe WotC will split D&D into two branches again.With the above being said; I am always willing to give a new system a shot if the new system has a decent stream of content coming out for it from it's creators. Rules by themselves are not really useful to me. The theoretical best system in the world is meaningless to me without lore and adventures to go with it. I know some people are more than happy to just take a basic ruleset with a vague world and make their own lore and world to adventure in and that's awesome. My hat goes off to them.However, due to my personal circumstances; I do not want to spend too much of my time writing up a unique world and adventure every time I want to run a table top session. Having some fleshed out premade worlds and scenarios to work with is heaven sent; I can run the premade scenarios straight or I can rework any aspect of them.My analogy for it would be painting. Not everyone who paints wants to make their own paint, paintbrushes, canvas, and easel from scratch. Some painters just want to buy all that naughty word and paint with it. Some will go a step further and take simple sketches from someone else and paint over it or use a photo as reference to start their painting. None of these approaches are wrong.</blockquote>
