You can't drag people from one game system to another, it doesn't
work.

You can give people alternatives and possibilities, but it is up
to them whether they take them.

I have, and have recently played, characters who are hardly
changed from those generated under Original D&D rules (Men &
Magic/Greyhawk), a game which variants of reached a level of
sophistication only equalled by AD&D 2ndEd.  I also recently
played a game of 'Bushido' and one of 'Flashing Blades'.  I
believe some friends were recently playing 'Dragonquest', and
others 'Runequest 2ndEd'.

All games have their strengths and weaknesses, and what
ultimately affects the 'quality' of the game is the quality of
the ref/GM.


There are quite a few SJ things that I'd only do using 2ndEd, and
others for which a working 3rdEd SJ would be useful.

But, I don't think it is worth the effort to try and convert SJ
to one or more varients of Original D&D! [grin]

(SJ under Hero System (4thEd) anyone?  I've run it! [grin] )
