Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 9350740" data-attributes="member: 2209">I am almost exclusively D&D for things I run.I have played a number of other games (GURPS, WFRP, Palladium, Rolemaster, Star Frontiers, Shadowrun, Vampire the Masquerade, Mutants & Masterminds, Everquest RPG, Honey Heist, Kids on Bikes, homebrew systems, etc.), and I am up for most games as a player but D&D of various editions is my comfort zone for running a gameI have free formed rules less for my son when he was real young and for him and his friend the neighbor girl. It allowed doing so in situations like while on hikes through the woods and such with no dice or papers.The one non-D&D I did was real close to D&D, Pathfinder 1e. I checked out and enjoyed the Beta rules and ran a game with them and really liked it and went to Pathfinder 1e once that came out with its SRD even though I liked a lot of the Beta more than the 1e final rules. I had been doing a lot of house rules in 3.5 and I really liked a lot of the Pathfinder 1e innovations like the skills changes over 3.5.I did not pick up 4e when it came out, I was happy with 3.5 with my house rules, had a ton of material and cool modules I had not used yet, and kept playing it when there was no 4e SRD or free basic rules to check out the new edition. I kept playing and DMing 3.5 then adopted the fairly compatible Pathfinder1e  stuff and DMd using a ton of my 3e and d20 stuff. It wasn't until later in 4e that they released the basic rules from <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/110212/h1-keep-on-the-shadowfell-quick-start-rules-4e?affiliate_id=17596" target="_blank">H1 Keep on the Shadowfell</a> and I joined a group that was playing 4e that I even checked out 4e stuff and bought the Christmas PH I&II special sale set and got into 4e as a player. When the group I played with burnt out on 4e I took up DMing with Pathfinder 1e and then we moved on to other games when others DMd. I DM'd a little for my son with 4e but all one shots, it was not until 5e that I returned to doing a full D&D campaign as a DM, and that was only after having gotten a starter set and a PH as gifts.</blockquote>
