[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 3198947, member: 20854"] I don't know if I would've quit gaming, but I do know that switching from 3E to C&C revitalized my gaming. And it made me take a look at the older systems, again. When I did that, I rediscovered some things I liked, and I also had some new understanding about why they were designed such-and-such a way. 3E encourages rules-mastery, so that you understand the hows and whys "behind the curtain," which makes for a better game. I took that approach to the old systems, and realized that I had some mistaken assumptions. I know I link to it a lot, but [url=http://robert.infogami.com/Classic_D&D]RFisher's site[/url] (especially his "I used to think..." article) does a good job explaining my shift in perspective. (So much so that I don't find any need to create my own site -- I just link to his... Hi, Robert! :p ) Anyway, my gaming picked up immensely, both in quantity and in fun. I even started a second group, which I never would've done, before. To get back on topic, I, too, would be interested in an online con. My interest in tempered with caution, though. I'm not sure exactly how it would work. I'm not a fan of online play; I much prefer gathering around a table. However, I'd certainly take a look at an online con. As far as a location, I think Dragonsfoot would be a good place. [/QUOTE]
