[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4949743, member: 22779"] If what you are saying is true, then, for me, 2e was FAR more important to me than 3e. I spent considerably more money on 2e than 3e. Yet, I dropped 2e like a bad habit when 3e came out. Thinking about it, adjusting for inflation, I likely spent roughly the same or maybe a tad more on 1e than I did on 3e and you know my opinion of 1e. So, no, dollars spent does not correlate with how important the system is to me. Heck, I spent a huge amount of time, way back when, playing Star Frontiers. All that cost me was a boxed set (this was long before Zebulon's) and three modules. Several hundred hours of game play for not a whole lot of money. So, solely from my own perspective, money spent =! importance of system. Or, looking at another group - those that play OOP editions. How much money has someone who is playing 1e spending per year on D&D? Spread over the two or three decades of gaming, that gamer is spending very, very little on his hobby. How important do you think his system is to him though? Judging from some of the posts, I'd say it's pretty damn important. [/QUOTE]
