[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9357260, member: 42582"] I played B/X and AD&D near-exclusively from 1982 until very early 1990. (I also played a bit of Classic Traveller in that time, but didn't really get it and couldn't make it work well.) In 1990 I discovered Rolemaster, and that was my principal RPG until the end of 2008. I did play a bit of AD&D 2nd ed in that time (but GMed only a handful of sessions) and bits and pieces of BRP systems (RQ, Pendragon, CoC, Stormbringer, Elric). For me, RM and BRP has a type of crispness and "power" of fiction that D&D just couldn't rival. I paid attention as 4e D&D was being hyped, and it seemed to me a very appealing version of the game. So from 2009 to 2016 or so I played 4e near-exclusively. Since then I've played the occasional session of 4e D&D, a handful of sessions of "classic" D&D (either AD&D or Basic), but mostly other systems: the mains one have been Classic Traveller, Prince Valiant, MHRP/Cortex+ Heroic, Burning Wheel, and Torchbearer 2e. I've not played any 5e D&D and don't see that changing. The last time I did some RPGing with people whose main game is 5e D&D, I ran them through a session of In A Wicked Age. [/QUOTE]
