[QUOTE="Jack Morgan, post: 3719985, member: 42272"] I'd been out of RPGs fro a while. I ran an epic Earthdawn campaign that was so successful that everything we tried after felt like an anticlimax (even Earthdawn, itself). meanwhile i got married moved across the continent, and then 3.0 came out. I bought the PHB, the DMG and the much maligned Scarred lands creature collection (i don't know why I didn't buy the MM). My best friend did the same. i read the books I had. looked at character creation and the monster stat blocks and realized that I had, somehow, become too stupid to play D&D. My best friend came to the same conclusion. A few more years (6?) went by and I had the itch to play something and I picked up a simpler D20 variant (True20) and we've been using it ever since. Truthfully, though, i never really liked 1e, even when i was playing it all the time. Too many rules seemed (to me) arbitrary and designed to limit fun- but it was what we were playing, and nobody was interested in a change. I never played 2cnd- the cover art really turned me off. i may very well buy fourth, because I like to read RPGs (even 3.x) but i seriously doubt I will ever play D&D- or any other game with elves, ever again.
