[QUOTE="digitalelf, post: 7641039, member: 18913"] I played 1st edition from 1981/1982 up until 1989 when 2nd edition was released. I switched from 1st to 2nd edition only because that was the new edition. I certainly wasn't tired or bored with 1st edition. I played 2nd edition from its release in 1989 until the release of 3rd edition in 2000... Again, not because I was bored or tired of 2nd edition. I switched because it was the new edition. I played 3.0 until the release of 3.5 in 2003, and when 4th edition was released, I stuck with 3.5. I did so because, for the first time, the new edition did not appeal to me. So, I continued to play 3.5/PFRPG (PF1e) until 2012 when I finally tired of not just 3.5, but d20 in general. In 2012, I returned to 2nd edition, and while I did sign up for the DND Next playtest, I didn't see anything that made me want to leave 2nd edition. Not that I thought or think 5th edition is bad. I just don't see any reason to leave 2nd edition. I have enough 2nd edition material to last me and my group until we're well into our senior years! :lol: [/QUOTE]
