[QUOTE="R_Chance, post: 8318062, member: 55149"] So, D&D... We started with the original game in 1974. Added 1E stuff when it came out and 2E when it came out. I had been homebrewing it the whole time anyway. If a new edition had a better rule I adopted it, otherwise I stayed with what I had already developed / used. Often it was based on my players preference ([I]grumble[/I]). The first time I had to look at major changes was 3E. I kept with my homebrewed 2E plus until just before 3.5. I had done the rather large amount of work moving to a (slightly) homebrewed 3E and then 3.5E came out. That didn't take too much work really. I was satisfied with my game at that point. When 4E came out I bought it, read it, and decided against moving to it. OK game, but too many changes needed to my campaign world and not a lot of things I wanted to use. I was still updating things from 0/1//2E to 3.5X in some campaign areas anyway. It's an old campaign. So Pathfinder was useful, and homebrewed :) I like aspects of 5E but recently I've started codifying my old homebrewed 0/1/2 D&D and, as we open up and get back to in person gaming. I want to try that out. For now :) The habit of using what I like, borrowing ideas, and adding my own has been a habit in every RPG I've run. I have run some games largely "pure", but the desire (and often necessity) of tinkering with some aspects of a game is always there... :D [/QUOTE]
