[QUOTE="Mepher, post: 7641275, member: 61277"] I dabbled with B/X in 1984 and then got into the game big in 1988. Exclusively DM'd a 1E/2E hybrid ever since until 5E came out. Dabbled with a little 5E with HotDQ and hated it. Went back to 2E for a campaign. Back to 5E for LMOP and loved it. New group with DragonHeist and really loved it but our game bogged in Undermountain. Rose tinted glasses of nostalgia told us all we should go back to 2E. 6 sessions into 2E and we realized that our "old school" group just enjoyed 5E much more these days and this is where we are now. We happily played AD&D for 30+ years and never got sick of it. 3E and 4E just didn't appeal to us so we never game them a shot. Something about 5E was different and we gave it a shot and ultimately loved it. Us changing from AD&D wasn't because we got sick of it, it was just that 5E seemed to fit our changing play styles more. I don't see myself "getting sick" of the edition. If they evolve into a 5.5E I will continue to buy it. If they make drastic changes and go with an incompatible 6E then I will remain. Change and evolution are good but I don't change because I am sick of something. If that were the case I would just stop playing. [/QUOTE]
