I have never seen a player so concerned with the rules used that they left the group. In fact, I've seen gamers who bashed a system at every opportunity & swear up & down they'd never play that system happily start making a character the moment someone offered to run the verboten rule set.I do know one gamer who would likely have left the group once we changed systems, but he realized our group wasn't for him even though we were playing a system he liked.Although, I've very seldom seen an existing campaign switched to a different rule set, & I'm not a big fan of that. (If you want to switch rules, I think it is usually preferrable to start a new campaign.) Though I've never seen it happen, I would be less surprised by a player dropping out in that case.I think people who play the original game--either who started with it or who are beyond the stage of trying to figure out how to play it without blindly filling in all the blanks with experience from later editions--aren't that interested in discussing rules. The nature of that game--once you're comfortable with it--just doesn't lead to the same kind of rules discussions that later editions (even AD&D1e) do.The game isn't only rules. There are other aspects of the game & aspects of community that don't really depend upon rules. & ENWorld is one of the best RPGamer communities around.</blockquote>
