Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 9526018" data-attributes="member: 725">Started D&D with the Dutch version of the 'basic' (Red box) about 35 years ago (but actually started pnp RPGs with 'Oog des Meesters', also called 'The Dark Eye' in English), moved to the English version of AD&D 2E not that long after. Our 2e campaign eventually petered out, but thanks to Eric Noah's site we started playing D&D 3E before it was even out, just based on the collected rumours. Eventually our 3.5E campaigns also petered out, people got real busy with work and families. I tried to get into 4e (have the whole collection), but it just lacked 'something', while Pathfinder was great, it wasn't D&D and just functioned as good reading material for D&D, not something we actually played. We got back not long after the introduction of 5E, but that run didn't last long either (again, lots of bussy people).A couple of years ago we got back into playing 5E, but because one of our members wasn't often in the country we didn't play often. That became more problematic when he moved to the other side of the world, we only played a few times per year. That changed almost two years ago when we used a tablet with video calling as a stand in for our player on the other side of the world, it worked betten then expected, but not ideal. Then I found Foundry VTT and we started playing about twice per month, until about a month and a half ago, where I had to bow out (way to stressed and was not a friendly person). I intend to rejoin them early next year (2025) as by then the biggest stress factors will have been resolved by then. In the meantime they are still playing 5e in a different, but related campaign.We've played other RPGs, The Dark Eye, Vampire: The Masquarde, Shadowrun, and Kids on Bikes. Personally I've also played Mage: The Ascension, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Mechwarrior, etc. But D&D is our main game, even though I had been looking often at Pathfinder 1e, and even now at Pathfinder 2e, I don't realy see that happening with our group, D&D has a high nostalgia factor for us. Although I do hope that we might make some sidesteps in the future to something entirely different, like Mothership, Spire, Heart, Blades in the Dark, and I've been reading a lot of Ars Magica...</blockquote>
