I preferred the 1st Edition rules to 2nd Edition.

To this day, this is still my favorite RPG I've ever played. The rules system is fast and easy to learn. The game rewards good storytelling. And if you are like me, and don't enjoy simple hack n slash adventures, there is a wealth of great roleplaying experiences to be had with this game.
