2e continues to blast me away. I love it, love it, love it.


I think a critical part of that is the way its written. Its usually more wordy, with a bunch of very colorful disruptions.

The way it described venician spellcasting even made make sense for me!

Of course this is a drawback when describing something of 100% crunch.

When trying to learn BATTLESYSTEM (For Dark sun purposes) I wanted to beat the editor with a rusty shovel.

Still. If the writing captured the same feel as 2e it would be great. 2e had the best fluff.
