[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9353988, member: 4534"] I left three times. The first time was in the late 1990s, around 1997-1998, where I simply got so tired of AD&D I decided I would no longer play it. I ended up selling almost the entirety of my RPG collection to a friend of mine who still owns the books. And, man, I owned a lot of 2nd edition AD&D products including multiple settings, monster manuals, those brown books, some green books, and a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten about. I came back a few short years later with third edition. I had a pretty good time but I dropped out with 3.5. I had been looking forward to 3.5, but the changes were so minor I was a little peeved and didn't upgrade. But there was some other stuff going on as well. I was running a lot of Living Greyhawk as it was popular in my neck of the woods and it burned me out. As a DM, I felt like I was little more than a rubber stamp for players getting experience and treasure and I got tired of it. When I announced my retirement several players offered to buy me the 3.5 core books but I declined. I came back for 4th edition but beat a hasty retreat because I didn't like the game. And I'll just leave it at that as 4th edition seems to be a sore spot for a lot of people. And again, I came back to D&D for 5th edition. Overall I've been pretty happy with it, but I've found that after 10 years I don't own a lot of D&D books. They're just not producing anything I'm interested in. [/QUOTE]
