I have first hand experience with Basic D&D, 2ndEd, and 3e.
Darque, you don't even game. You just read the books. What are you talking about? lol

I don't "game" currently.. that doesn't mean I haven't in the past on occasion.
Or did you think I started collecting pnp books just for fun?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Fair enough. But have you actually GM/played at least several sessions of both 3e and 2ndEd? Preferably under the same GM or group of people?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Under the same? No.
I came from a "group" that tried a different game ever weekend or so... which is probably the only reason I've experience with so many systems (and why I've grown to collect them. <_< )
I'm afraid I don't have "omglolerz I've had the same character for a decade" style experience
But I still have experience (and if we want to get technical, I've played more second edition than third... even tried first once... but I still prefer third. It's more user friendly... the powerlevel drop sucks... oh how I loved dual classing.. but it is more user friendly )
