Do you, or have you played them in the past? Which ones did you enjoy? Other general commentry as a whole?
I played dungeons and dragons 2nd edition when I was younger. I found it very fun when the entire group was into it. For some reason our campaigns never really went above 10th level or so though. Experience was always slow, and we'd have played the characters out, or the big major quest line would be finished, or we'd all get killed in some catastrophic blunder.
I also tried some Vampire the Masqarade but could never really get into that.
Some people at my work play 4th edition d&d. I find the books interesting to read through to see how the game has evolved. I'm not quite sure I like some of the changes though, it seems to stress micro-management of combat over pretty much everything else and feels very 'gamey' with the figurines and cooldowns and such. I've heard the rules work well but the focus on combat seems to encourage hack-n-slash.
I'd have liked to try some more freeform systems but the chance has never come up. I'm sure there are a few rules-light systems focused more on drama.
