[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7640760, member: 6803664"] Depends upon the edition. BE/CMI - effectively I got tied of it after about 2 years. Though practically I played it (sporadicly) up through Companion until about '87. As I've said before, I started playing Basic Chistmas 1980. Then we added Expert about a year later. But by '83 we'd pretty much shifted to 1e. Basic is ok, but the race as class thing was the 1st thing we ever house ruled. And this was when we were 12 & had no other rpg xp.... So when we found 1e. :) 1e - I'll be an old man with no rpg friends & I still won't be tired of this edition. 2e - played this one '89 - about '96 - when my gaming switched to Vampire, MTG, & more miniature wargaming. 3x - effectively skipped 3e, played 3.5 2006 -2009, switched to PF1 2009+. PF is ok. Its not 1e, but as long as the group wants to play PF1 I'm down. 4e - I think I tied of this edition while reading it through upon launch. I did however give it a fair shot: I DM'd it for 1 year & played as PC for a 2nd. Initial assessment confirmed: I really dislike this edition. 5e - my 2nd favorite edition. I could run/play this edition for many years. Though I suspect that 6e will improve it & render playing 5e itself moot. Pf2 - ? I don't know yet. Good news though, one of the guys in my PF1 group has expressed interest in trying it. So maybe, if he'll DM, I'll get to play it sooner than I'd thought. (Either way I'll still get the book when I get back from GenCon (no reason to buy it there vs at my FLGS) [/QUOTE]
