[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2697945, member: 14159"] For me, almost certainly not. Six years ago I played AD&D 2e because it was the best we had, it had a lot of arbitrary rules I thought were silly at the time, but I assumed it was the best way people had to play the game. We over the years had to come up with piles of house rules to make the game bearable (a majority of which were implemented, at least in spirit, in 3e). When 3e came out, I practically cried out "Why didn't we do it like this all along?!", and didn't look back. I use AD&D 1e/2e now as an "Idea Mine" of plundering it for spells and NWP's to convert, bits of flavor to translate over (like the Master titles for Monks from 1e), and the excellent 2e setting materials that were made. It would be monumentally difficult to get me to play a AD&D 2e game (with a healthy dose of the "2.5" Players/DM's Option rules it's tolerable), and bordering on impossible to get me to play a core-rules 2e game. If it was a DM I knew to be excellent, with players I really enjoyed playing with, that would change it somewhat, but it would be a case of enjoying the company so much that it was making up for a system I didn't want to play.
