[QUOTE="AIM-54, post: 1786020, member: 15633"] A lot of it, I think, depends on both personal preferences and the particular desires of any given group. I started with 2E, but quickly also got into Call of Cthulhu, Battletech/Mechwarrior, as well as Shadowrun. My group in HS floated between all of those games without ever really committing to any longterm. We were learning what we liked and what games gave us that. By the time college rolled around, I'd moved away and didn't really play except when I was at home and the group mostly settled on SR. It took time, but I discovered that that was my favorite system. But by the end of college, I'd gotten together with some college friends to give 3E a try and really enjoyed that as well. I also introduced them to SR, which we've had a lot of fun with. Actually last weekend I was up visiting and ran an adventure for them using characters that many of them hadn't touched in almost 18 months, plus some new ones and it was one of the most successful games, of any type, I've ever run and certainly the most fun gaming I've had in quite awhile. My group here is mostly hardcore d20 devotees. This is fine, but I find I burn out on it rather quickly, but not so much because of the system, but because of their particular style of play. They enjoy a different style of game than I do. I enjoy playing with them for the most part, but I find I'm happier when it's relatively less frequent. And someday they will relent and I will play SR with them!!! Really! :lol: [/QUOTE]
