[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 1782604, member: 317"] Sure, I'd play 2e again. I still don't understand what was so terrible about 2e, and why people loathed it. Ok, Complete book of Elves and the Player's Option stuff aside, it was playable, and I ran and played it for longer than I have 1e or 3e. The best game I ever ran began in 2e (continued to 3e with some revisions), and the worst game I've ever played in was in 3e. The quality of the game has a lot more to do with the folks playing and running it than with the rules. The 2e rules never fell apart during play, 2e didn't kill my dog, nor did it drag the moon out of orbit and nearly make it collide with the earth. I have seen a LOT more twinkery and rampant powergaming since 3e came out than I ever did in 1e and 2e combined. And yeah, while I houseruled 2e (about 5 pages), I have MORE houserules for 3e because my preferences and playstyle have changed somewhat over the years. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy running/playing 3e and its flexibility and customizibility, but sometimes the strengths of 3e are also its downfall. [/QUOTE]
