[QUOTE="UniversalMonster, post: 60788, member: 1034"] I almost did! I have been a 1st edition and basic D&D guy since 1978. Quit AD&D when I went to college and switched to a variety of things (Palladium, Torg, Earthdawn, I moved around a lot and got a sampling of most games that were available). If it hadn't been for 1 Spelljammer campaign I joined in college, and getting into Planescape in 1999 I would have missed out on 2e entirely. The Spelljammer campaign was soon after 2e's release (I remember Tome of Magic came out at the same time as we were playing, so around that time), and I hated the changes that were made, (and the changes that were NOT made that needed to be) and it totally put me off ever really getting into AD&D2. I went back in 1999 after someone told me my Everway campaign ideas were "a lot like Planescape".. so I got Planescape to check it out, and I really fell in love with Planescape. I rewrote a bunch of AD&D2 so I could run Planescape. (Mostly just the magic rules- I wanted low-level spellcasters to get more spells) and added in a skill system, and used some magic item ideas from Earthdawn, which was one of my favorite games. Then 3e came out and blew away everything. It's all I really care about now. I could probably be tempted to play anything with a competent GM (maybe even Gurps, which I think is a really really awful rpg) but all I want to run is D&D3 fantasy with an occasional foray into other genres. d20 solves that nicely.
