[QUOTE="jerryrice4949, post: 8065948, member: 6794167"] This x10. I played ODD, BECMI, 1st Edition and 2nd edition and then went off to college and stopped playing. I briefly looked into 3.5 but the barrier to entry, specifically the time to learn and prepare for a game seemed too great. I also looked at PF and thought the same thing. I followed the development of 4th edition but ultimately decided I did not like what I saw. I thought about going back to 2nd edition but in the end I just did not start playing again. Then came 5E. While not perfect it was close to what I was looking for. It leaves a lot of room for house rules with a focus story telling. I jumped right in and overall I love it. Though my group loves 5E, we have always hoped just a little more customization would be added (not optimization), so we decided to dabble with PF2. Ultimately we found it was not for us. Again it came down to the time we had to learn a new system. We found there was too much more to track, too many more decision points and we just did not have the time. My group is happily back running a 5E game but interested to see what happens with Level Up. I am surprised that WoTC has not dabbled with a set of advanced rules. [/QUOTE]
