[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 5468684, member: 5038"] Oh, I agree about abandoning the hobby. I also agree that some people left AD&D entirely to focus on other genres and this is abandoning. However, with regards to to genre switching among the people I know (and I stated in my prior post that I was focusing on people I know), most people have always switched between games for some genres (e.g., supers, modern horror, urban fantasy, espionage) as the mood strikes. A few even switch for specific types of fantasy such as swashbuckling or asian adventures. However, they also simultaneously play or return to FR/Greyhawk/Darksun/Ravenloft/Al Quadim/Oriental Adventures or some similar style homebrew settings, so I don't consider hopping rpgs for genre and returning to AD&D for whatever type of fantasy it may be to be abandoning it. What I do consider to be abandoning AD&D was the majority of them (myself included) switching from AD&D to other systems (e.g., GURPS, Hero, M&M, Rolemaster, R&K (L5R and 7th Seas) etc.) to run FR/Greyhawk, Darksun/Ravenloft/Al Quadim, or their former AD&D homebrews. In every case, the reasons for this always came down to system and mechanics. . [/QUOTE]
