[QUOTE="HardcoreDandDGirl, post: 6305538, member: 82746"] I started playing in 2e, and my group continued until after the 1st set of 3.5 complete books were out. the first 3e phb I bought was on shelf next to Complete Arcane, and Complete Warrior. If someone had continued to make 2e products we would never have switched. I wasn't "won over" by WotC either, it was just the fact that the DM in our group wanted to buy new things and was falling in love with D20, so when the game ended no one was running 2e around me at the time... I was a couple years into 4e before I tried it either... and it was hella easier to find 3e and pathfinder games then 2e ones a few years earlier. 4e actually won me over where 3e eat away my gameing group... I right now am playing in a heavily house ruled 1e game... but even that almost all the players own 2e, 3e, and 4e books and chopped out parts they like (including making prestige classes and feats for 1e) I am also enjoying my Myth and Magic (a 2e retro clone) and waiting for 5e. I have 0 intrest in going back to 3e or 3.5 or pathfinder, I might dabble in 4e a bit, but 5e,2e, and this not really 1e game are great... I agree the OGL helped force us into 3e, and made it so that 3e was around forever. I don't know nore will I pretend to know if that is good or bad over all, but I wish 2e was OGL and I never had to try 3e... for what it was worth. I can tell you that is how I remember it as well, but I lost my old archmage and half demon books to an ex boyfriend, anyone know of a legal way to get those old books as pdfs? [/QUOTE]
