[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 5798678, member: 85555"] I think reverse nostalgia is often at work with 1e and 2e. People tend to overplay their faults and downplay their advantages (particularly when making 3e comparisons). When I ran ravenloft last year, I only had nostalgia to set my assumptions. I remembered loving the setting but felt 2e would run clunky and wierd. It actually worked much better with tge Ravenloft setting than my 3e campaigns (and I ran d20 ravenloft for years). For all its flaws a lot of those quirky elements to the system just ended up proeucing a better experience than d20. With the railroading, it wasn't all that bad in the modules I ran. The Created was the worst offender, but still very useable and a lot of fun. Not a fan of railroading but i would take any 1e or 2e module over a wotc module. [/QUOTE]
