[QUOTE="milotha, post: 1454221, member: 17122"] I really enjoyed the 2ed games I was in. As for the rules, other than the really basic rules, most of the GMs I played with were talented enough just to make up something fun and reasonable on the spot. This remains true for all three systems. My guess is that 1ed has its fans, and they have already stuck with it past 2ed, so their opinion isn't going to change. Those that switched from 1ed to 2ed, which in my experience were very similar, got tired of the same mechanic and were looking for a change - 3ed. I think that all three systems have their strengths and weaknesses AND their fans and haters. No one system is right for everyone. I don't really understand the hatred that seems to well up against 2ed, which really isn't *that* different from 3ed, by those who previously played it. Hey, it's all RPGing in the name of fun.
