[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 1454773, member: 10177"] I have many fond memories of 2e, and I would run it again if I found enough interested players. I think I liked it because I didn't use kits or any other optional rulebooks. I certainly didn't buy anything with the word complete in it. Wait, was that Necromancer book a complete book? OK, maybe one book. I had my own skills system. I had my own spot/search system. I had an altered THACO and AC system. I had a system that was surprisingly close to the feat system, but far fewer feats, that were essentially decided upon as needed/thought of. I did like/love the specialty priests for FR. I also love FR. I ignored all the novels, the Avatar series, and that Cyric crap. Was 2e better than 1e? I definitely think so, or I would have never switched. So, apparently, 2e stressed me out a lot less than it did others. Do i like 3e better? Overall, yes. Still room for improvement, but that is an acceptable fact of games in general. [/QUOTE]
