We began as gamers with Original D&D or 1st edition back in the 70s and early 80s.All of us left AD&D by 1984. We had moved on to other systems and settled principally with ICE's Rolemaster. We played that system more or less exclusively till 2000.  We sat out 2nd edition in its entirety. From time to time we would buy setting material for 2nd edition - but never rules. We never played 2nd edition and never wanted to.When 3rd edition ended up including many of the things we liked about Rolemaster, we jumped ship and returned to the fold.Please appreciate that one of the big reasons we did this as a group was because we were tired of not having a game that had the perqs and bells and whistles that came with playing in an ongoing officially supported game. We missed new rulebooks, we missed settings we didn't have to convert to use - but above all we missed monthly magazines what supported the game that we could buy.Rulebooks and setting material we have aplenty now - more than we could ever use. That will continue and that's still a big factor in keeping our interest.But the loss of the magazines is to a lot of the guys in my gaming circle a big deal. It's one the perqs that came with being back in the fold.And now it's soon to be gone. That IS going to have an impact on the attraction of continuing to play 3.5 for the 8 members of my gaming circle as time wears on.</blockquote>
