[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 4053840, member: 59816"] I played a few games of 1st Ed in 1986 with a group I met through a 300 baud-modem dial-up BBS. Then I played mostly TMNT, until 2nd Edition came out, which I picked up at my local comic & game store the week it came out. I played 2nd Ed an average of 2 to 3 times a week for about until the Skills & Powers came out and all the little things I didn't like about 2nd got too much for me. Then I made my own RPG which originally combined 2nd Ed and Call of Cthulu, with a whole lotta stuff I made up myself. By the time 3rd Ed came out, I owned a Comic & Game store (Hourglass Comics in Port Moody, BC, Canada) and I picked it up right away. Unfortunately, for ever great advancement it made (D20 is SO much better than THAC0, the saves were just greatly superior.) It had a million little things that I didn't like (CR's never worked well, too many "one-time" modifiers every round, etc) but I kept playing it. Hoped that 3.5 would fix things I didn't like in 3.0. It fixed things that weren't broken, and broke others, and didn't fix a bunch of things it should have. Again, I still played it, but not too often. (Playing SW Saga now, though) I can't bloody wait for 4E, as the list of things they say they want to fix sounds like a list of everything I hate about 3E.
