[QUOTE="pming, post: 8317900, member: 45197"] Hiya! Try it most of the time. Then put it on the shelf, or start playing it over the old...but often just steal ideas from one edition to use for whatever mish-mash we are using at the time. I can only think of two games...and one of them not 100%... where I have jumped to the newer edition: SUPERS! (but it's only had 'two' versions, so not hard), and Call of Cthulhu...where we all believe that the d20 version was actually some sort of SAN reducing cosmic horror trick that the Old Ones managed to sneak into our world; so, all "real" versions of Call of Cthulhu we have dutifully upgraded to every time...except for [I]The Edition That Shall Not Be Named Again In This Thread! [/I] For D&D, no 2e, no 3e, no 4e; mostly 1e/Hackmaster 4th, BECMI/BX, and now 5th. And yeah, I consider Hackmaster 4th Edition to be "AD&D version 2.75" (mostly 1e, some 2e, some Basic, and some Skills & Powers Players Option). Also, on last little thing that I don't know if it's just me and where I live, or if this is a universal thing... any person who immediately thinks "It's new! So it's BETTER!" has always, without fail, turned out to be an idiot. Just me, or is this more common? ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
