[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 8482971, member: 13892"] I don't HATE any systems these days. It takes up too much energy. Many years ago I could do that. These days, I'm old and slow. I prefer to focus my energy on the things I like. I do still have games/systems that I prefer not to play for various reasons. For example, I feel that all Savage Worlds games are very same-y, perhaps even more so than things like GURPS and Hero, because there are considerably fewer mechanical options. But I don't HATE it. That said, one of the big things that got me going back in the day were [I]huge[/I] mechanical shifts between editions of a game that I'd played for years (so [I]reeeeeeeeally[/I] not fond of the AD&D 2e to D&D 3e shift). Feeling like I had to learn an entirely new system to play a game that I already loved was... well, it wasn't ideal for me. I eventually came around, but this was due more to 3rd party products rather than the 3e core game (Green Ronin in particular published some outstanding OGL stuff). [/QUOTE]
