[QUOTE="iserith, post: 8478066, member: 97077"] Part of that is just getting old. I played AD&D 2e in high school in the 90s. I couldn't tell you a single thing about the rules of that game except THAC0. I suspect we weren't even playing by the rules very well anyway. I can only barely remember some things from D&D 3e since I haven't played that since D&D 4e game out. Like I can remember certain references to things, but I could not tell you the different types of actions PCs can take or the like. The memory is very low resolution now. If I were to play D&D 4e now, I'd have to have a refresher. Further, I ruthlessly interrogate every single thing I am doing in the game when I learn a new game. Is this thing I'm doing supported by the rules of this game? Or is this something I'm doing because another game suggests I do that? If I find it's not supported, then it's got to go. Try running Dungeon World, for example, without getting rid or at least compartmentalizing how to run D&D 4e or 5e. The game will fight you every step of the way and absolutely suck.
