The 3x family (currently PF) beats it by only a smidge as being my game of choice.I believe 1e/2e games have better balanced combat rules and are better balanced games in general than most people realize.I prefer game sessions with no combat to sessions of nothing but combat.I prefer to make do with what I get as a character (with stat rolls, hit points, and magic items) than to fuss over designing the ideal build.I believe that allowing players to pick their defensive bonus stats in 4e is one of the game's worst design flaws. Given my druthers, I'd define 3 offensive stats for each class (1 primary, 2 secondary) and define the defensive stats as the remaining 3 statistics so that all 6 stats were of significant value. If they aren't, why not cut down to 3 stats?</blockquote>
