[QUOTE="Phlebas, post: 4377860, member: 23810"] Roleplaying for me had basically petered out with the death of TSR - I didn't join the vampire / ars magica group and since i was working all over europe i struggled to find time for the Earthdawn / Stats & Skills stuff my freinds were playing when i settled down (actually i quit the job) I was ready for some roleplaying around the time 3,5e came out. I was the big D&D fan in the group (prefer classed systems to point buy) and really appreciated the thought that had gone into 3e vs 2e so when it was hinted that it was my turn to DM, it was 3,5 one freind had read the books but couldn't find a groups so we did a quick / dirty campaign to learn the rules and now we have 3 campaigns running. So the actual release date of 3e didn't really matter. we'd stopped playing 2e some years before, were trying other systems and it was real life that determined the timing so i hit the 2 years plus option, but to be honest it had nothing to do with the release - if I'd quit my job a few years earlier it might have been less than a month! today though its different - we have mature campaigns and an extended group (8 regular players + 4/5 interested if a gap came up) and no clamour for any fundamental change in game (though we might adopt PFRP if it stays backward compatible) . so 4e, which i'm sure i'll try sometime, is on the list of other games that we might play when we get a chance [/QUOTE]
