[QUOTE="robberbaron, post: 3586285, member: 14771"] [Stream of Consciousness] I have generally avoided the 'I'm done with xx' threads because I'm happy with the games I play/run. Then I read this thread and finally realised that... I'm not happy at all. Particularly with 3.5. I've played 1e, 2e, 3e and 3.5 and the progression has not been altogether favourable; my enjoyment had decreased in step with the version increment. Back in 1e characters were much simpler: no skills, no feats, fewer special abilities and fewer 3rd party classes (which were pretty much all crap, anyway). Now characters all have skills and feats, many have loads of special fu they can do, 3rd party classes are abundant and I think most of them are still crap. I also agree with Mallus. I enjoy playing more than I enjoy DMing, which is a shame as I DM one of our 2 D&D games and it is the only one that everyone in our group tries to attend. In the recent past (last 10-15 years or so [I have been playing for 31]) we have played quite a few different games - Palladium, Cyberpunk/Cyberspace, D20 Modern, D20 Cthulhu, Champions, Runequest, Bushido and prbably a few I can't remember - and I have enjoyed them all, to different extents, but the problem is that each was generally run by a different person and when they stopped running them we stopped playing them. Rather than try something new I'd like to revisit some of these other games that I have played and loved, particularly Bushido and Cyberpunk-thingy. Then again, I have always been a bit of a gaming slut - I would play whatever anyone wanted to run. In conclusion, I am not sure what the answer is. If I stop playing/running the games with which I am unhappy, would anyone run something else to fill the void or would my gaming come to a bumpy halt? I'm not sure and I think I'm scared to push the big red button to find out. [/Stream of Consciousness] [/QUOTE]
