Greetings chummers,
I need some help deciding on which way to run a new campaign I'm starting with some friends. I've GM'ed and playing 2nd ed, but missed out on 3rd and 4th due to relocation and not having anyone to play with. Now that 4.5 (4ed Rev 2? 4a?) is out, and I have some friends interested in playing, I'm taking up the GM mantle again. However, I don't have any experience with anything other than 2nd ed. The group I'm playing with only has 1 player with any SR experience, and he's willing to try anything I want to do. The others have never touched SR, and only a couple of heard of it (5 person group), so they don't know any better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm thinking of a couple different things....either jump into 4th ed wholesale, and try to learn all the new stuff as I can; run the 4e ruleset (since I do like that...haven't cover-to-covered the rulebook yet, but what I've skimmed looks really good) within the 2nd ed timeframe and metaplot; or just say frak it and run 2nd ed. Anyone out there with any advice on which option might be better? I know this is all subjective, but I figure this would be the best place to discuss.
