[QUOTE="skinnydwarf, post: 1460194, member: 7024"] Like many others on the thread, I don't have very fond memories of the *rules* of 2e, but had a few fun games. Early in my roleplaying career I was exposed to other games (Jorune 3rd edition was actually the first game I owned), and realized how crappy the 2e rules were. I pretty much left it for awhile, only playing occasionally. There were many times I swore I would never play D&D again, because the rules were so annoying. But I usually came back after awhile, because it was the game that everyone knew the rules for. When I started learning about 3e, and reading much of the DND 3e mailing list and OGL list back in freshman year of college, I kept saying to myself "they fixed everything I hated about the 2e rules, and added lots of cool things to boot!" (I thought attacks of opportunity were especially cool). Since then I've been a really big fan of 3e, hardly playing anything else. But I'm trying to get a sci-fi GURPS game running, and I really like [URL=http://www.burningwheel.org]Burning Wheel[/URL] (a little indie RPG). It has a really cool combat system, and a cool life-path system for character creation. Plus, it's pretty cheap, only $15 for the set. [/QUOTE]
