[QUOTE="Richards, post: 9110013, member: 508"] I started with AD&D 1E, then went to AD&D 2E, and finally to 3.0 and 3.5. And by that time, I was one of the more frequently-published freelancers in the pages of [I]Dragon[/I] and [I]Dungeon[/I] magazines. But when 4E came out, I didn't like what I saw, as there were too many broad, sweeping changes that would have made continuing on with an existing campaign almost impossible - too many things no longer worked the way they had before, too many previously established "facts" were now no longer so. Fortunately, I had amassed enough 3.0/3.5 material to last me my entire gaming lifetime, and my gaming group had no desire to switch from 3.5, so we haven't. When 5E came out, I gave it a peek, thought "interesting," and have ignored it completely since. We're still gaming with 3.5 and having a blast. Of course, it kind of sucks that I'm no longer a freelancer, but I wasn't willing to move on to 4E just to be able to continue with that particular hobby. If I ever lose my gaming group and no longer have 3.5 campaigns to keep me occupied, I may invest in whatever the current version is and dip my toe back in the freelancing pool, but I'm not really planning on it.
