Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mallus" data-source="post: 477818" data-attributes="member: 3887">The best campaigns I ran were 2nd ed. and the best I played in was a hybird 1st/2nd.That said, I really like the 3rd ed. system. I find it clearly superior {though hardly flawless}. I look at FRPG's  as rules for simulating fantasy novels. And the flexibility at the core of 3e {with regard to class} fixes my one huge problem w/the earlier systems: that characters cannot  respond to their life experiences and change career {unless their human w/ high stats}. A lot of my favorite characters from fantasy cannot be modelled by ed. 1 and 2 without discarding the rules.Also, the general design philosophy of increasing choices {again, in terms of character development} really works for me.Blind adherence to any product is silly {either out of nostaglia or pure branding}. And a great campaign can be made from any rules set. But I think 3rd ed. is a better rules set.</blockquote>
