[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 2632246, member: 1465"] I imagine that if one has started with 1ed and has very fond memories, plus if their group has never suffered any problems with the ruleset, there are not many reason to actually switch to a newer version. The car analogy works well: if you still had a perfectly functioning VW Beetle, you have no reason to change it for a shining new Smart if that doesn't say anything to you. I don't like the Windows analogy instead, which assumes that all previous versions had more serious bugs... ;) Some reasons not to change: - you know the 1e ruleset very well and don't want to bother learning a new system - you have lots of nice 1e books and still want to use them - you have an ongoing campaign which you don't want to convert - you have a custom setting (or smaller materiali) built around the 1e ruleset - you don't like the idea of spending a few more 100$ banknotes Or more simply: if it's always been working for you, why MUST you change?
