[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 2137274, member: 3913"] There's no insult implied here. For me, the earlier versions of AD&D (I don't hold the same ire for Basic because it was an excellent beginner's game) were simply not as good as 3E. Before 3E came along, I quit playing fantasy altogether. With 2E I had a book of houserules that essentially reworked the entire game (and ironically, like other posters, looked very similar to 3E), I finally got sick of it and quit playing AD&D, but I looked for other fantasy game that could give me the same experience since I love the way that D&D played. I tried GURPS, Rolemaster, MERP, and none of them quite did it for me, so I picked up Alternity and played sci-fi campaigns until 3E came out and I haven't looked back. The fact that 2E drove me from D&D isn't an insult. It wasn't a good enough system for me. Others may love it and that's great. I loved the campaigns I played under 2E, but I didn't care for the system at all. For me, 3E, which may be a different system but still plays like D&D for me and my group, is my game of choice and will continue to be for a long time to come. Kane [/QUOTE]
