[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 1848600, member: 5038"] Like Joshua, I too became disillusioned with the specific implementation of DND under 1e. I got introduced to RM (which I think often gets a bad rap) while away for my first year of college, but unfortunately when I returned home for a summer break nobody wanted to try a new system. So, it was back to ADND right before 2e was released and we continued to 2e. Again, I got disllusioned with many of the D&Disms despite liking settings, the Complete Books and the concept of kits (if not often liking the implementation and power creep of many of the kits), started searching for new games, but did not try to introduce RM to my second group of ADnd players. Despite not reintroducing RM to the current group (at the time), one of the players, a recent addition did just that when school and work demanded too much of my time to run or play. The group quickly switched completely from 2e to RM and still play RM (and until earlier this year, I continued gaming with them including GMing), but 3.X renewed my interest in DND since most of the core changes I asked for in my questionaire regarding a 3e were implemented. However, in my case, if it were not for UA and 3rd party material, I would have abandoned DND again for a third time and never looked back. However with UA and 3rd party stuff, I can enjoy 3.x as much as RMSS-- as long as I stay away from WOTC's DND page where I keep hoping to find more products like UA or enhancements that are as far sweeping in change. :D [/QUOTE]
