[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7449584, member: 85555"] I realize this. I started playing in the 80s, so I've seen things develop over time. But even I forgot how NWPs felt in practice. When I went back to them, I was half doing so intending to do it as a laugh. But more importantly, a lot of people didn't start playing until recently (1995 was over 20 years ago). And plenty of people haven't tried 1E, let alone 2E. By the way, I play lots of modern games. I played several sessions of Hillfolk just a couple months ago, and have played games like Gum Shoe and continue to play Savage Worlds. But people are after different things in games. You see 2e as broken or poorly designed. I get that. I am just saying I don't share that view, and it is through the playing fo the game that I reached that conclusion. I think people should try it on their own before rendering a judgment. By the same token, I'd hope people would give the games you are advocating for a fair shake as well. I think one of the worst habits people have in gaming is forming an opinion based on the experience of posters in forums who make good arguments but might miss the essence of things. [/QUOTE]
