With the right group, any RPG "could be fun"

I can't think of any "right" group that would make any of the Worlds of Darkness fun for me...

I'd be up for a game of RC D&D or OD&D, but it would take a really talented DM to convince me to play in an AD&D game.

OD&D? Sure, it would make great nostalgia!

1st & 2nd ed? Nah, probably not, unless I really, really trusted the GM.

Yep. I do, actually. Sometimes. It's still fun, the release of new editions doesn't blank out the enjoyment of the old game.

What's this try it out crap? I'm still playing it. In Lake Geneva this coming weekend, even, for example.

Also, every other monday at my house, and every other saturday at my buddies. (Both 1e games)

With 2e, I had fun, at the time, when we heavily house ruled it and so many of our house rules turned out to be core in 3e. When we played Rules Cyclopedia D&D, we did it for a short while as a bit of a lark, and realized it was fun, but we couldn't bring ourselves to limit ourselves to just what was there.

It's fun to think about nostalgia, that somehow prior versions of the game were better or more fun, but to me 3.x is the highest form of the game. It can be run rules light (if the DM isn't picky about AoO and the exact wording of things), but then any version can be. I feel comfortable with 3e, at home, not like I was just playing it for lack of anything better.
