Ran through a few of the boxes before migrating to 1E AD&D, grumbled a year in resistance before trying out 2E and finding that I enjoyed it, and then dropped it like a hot potato when 3E came out.Every step of the way I enjoyed the game. I loved red box D&D. I moved to 'advanced' because it offered rules and concepts that were new and exciting. I moved to 2E because I liked how proficiencies were handled, and tweaks like specialists for wizardry. I dashed with glee to 3E because 2E was a cluttered mess that was hard to DM (everyone I met played 2E in fundamentally different ways due to the huge volume of option books that changed everything about the game to it's core in different ways). 3E happens to be my favorite edition. Old D&D is #2, then 1E and lastly 2E. Still, I've also ran other systems the entire time. GUPRS, Hero, Vampire, Traveller, Twilight 2000, Cuthulu, etc. I enjoy gaming for the fun of it, so I am not totally loyal to one system. Admittedly it is far easier to run a 3E D&D game than anything else, because of brand acceptance, but I am not against other games and check them out from time to time.So I'm loyal to nothing, and practical to the extreme. 3E is the hottest thing out there. Putting a game together is easy. So I do it. I also enjoy it to a great degree. The only system I'm happy to have put down is 2E. It did not hold up for me, other than Birthright.Interesting question thoguh. Many do fit your two categories, but not so many as you might think.</blockquote>
