Re: OOC II
In reply to Nestor (msg # 20):
I haven't checked out 2e yet!
I'd kind of wandered away from D&D as soon as I'd really started trying other games, and the only time I'd play was when someone else was running a game of it. I'm definitely dating myself here, but when 2e came out, and a friend asked me if I'd seen it and was interested, I'd responded at the time that my limited RPG $ pool would go to other games rather than a 2nd ed. of AD&D.
Every once in a while, I get nostalgic about old AD&D, and still have my books stashed away in a box. I guess lots of people still love it, and it's still about the most popular RPG out there. I've just found so many other games that I like more.
I'm really only in this game because dear old Nestor is a great GM and the semi historical backdrop is fascinating. That, and he's gracious enough to nudge me in the right direction mechanics wise that all I really have to focus on is the motivations of my simple viking warrior.
Wow, that was long winded!
Er, no, I haven't seen 5e. :)
