Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ahnehnois" data-source="post: 5590566" data-attributes="member: 17106">Probably a little over 10 years. It's been one gaming group, but membership was fluid for some time. Now the same group has been playing D&D for a couple of years together.Started as a 2e player, switched to 3e when it came out after the first year or so. At that point, the group voted on which edition to play, the new release or the established game. Easy choice. We never tried 4e. Again, easy choice. Later I started DMing, although we have always done some form of trading off DMs in order to get me a rest and to let everyone else have a shot at doing something different.With my group I've played probably 90% D&D over the years. Most of the rest is CoC d20; with a d20 Moden game and a BSG rpg game thrown in.When we first switched to 3e, what attracted me was the skill system, and the overall customizability of characters relative to 2e. It felt like you could do anything. Still does. Also the unifying mechanics seemed much more "fair" and easy to adjudicate. Again, this still holds true. The game does what I need pretty well and when I want to change, I just houserule rather than really switching systems (which has resulted in quite a few houserules derived from various d20 sources).We initially experimented with CoC d20 for a few reasons. We're fans of the source material. We sometimes need a short-run game. It's good to change up playstyle. It's easier to run on short notice or with little preparation. All these things keep us coming back.Similar reasons attracted me to the BSG rpg. I wanted it as a supplement to D&D to break up our D&D and d20 mindset every now and then. I also wanted to introduce the source material (the TV show which me and the players subsequently watched together). The last game I ran was actually a CoC d20/BSG rpg rlues hybrid which I cooked up because we were missing a player and couldn't do the regular campaign.</blockquote>
