[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9351305, member: 11"] I've never left D&D because of D&D itself. In the 2E era I had a gap between August 1989 and August 1991 because I started college and had a lot of other interests that overshadowing any kind of gaming. I then had a 3-year gap between August 2009 and October 2012, when I started my PHD program and moved away from my friends. But I moved back to the NY area in fall 2012 and joined an ongoing 3.Xe game that had started in 2010 and ended in 2016. We then tried some other games just for a change, including the Marvel Superhero Saga game and some PF1. I was pretty tired of 3E's granularity by then and knew that if I started up my own game I might just run BECMI. However, moving to a new city in 2019 I had a friend who really wanted me to run, so we formed a group and I bought the 5E books sight unseen and while I still quibble - i have always been a houseruler/homebrewer - I liked it fine. That game started in 2020. It didn't hurt that Mearls sent me a copy of Ghosts of Saltmarsh (we had friends in common/gamed together back in his pre-WotC days) and while I have gotten other 5E adventure books, GoS (plus adapted 1-3e material) has been all I have needed for the last four years. So yeah, my playing years are 1983 to 1989, 1991 to 2009, 2012 to 2016, and 2020 to present. [/QUOTE]
