[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9110058, member: 52734"] Up until about 4E, I and my group(s) pretty much kept up with whatever the latest version was as we generally found it to be better in some way (5E brought me back, but I'm not much interested in OneD&D). I have had instances where I've gotten bored or otherwise burned out on D&D, and striking out to try new systems has always helped. I like to learn and play a lot of different games and editions, far afield from D&D. D&D does a particular thing fairly well - zero to hero fighting fantasy - but it's pretty poor in other areas. You see that the more game systems you try out, and its often pretty enlightening. I've known several folks that upon having tried another system, refuse to come back to D&D. For me, I find myself often learning lessons I take back to D&D - or simply enjoy a completely different way of tackling a RPG. In short, there's more RPGs than just D&D out there, and even in D&D no "one true edition". You don't have to keep on the treadmill or even justify what system you're playing. Make or find a good game with folks who have similar appetites, and the mechanics are generally secondary. [/QUOTE]
