   The system worked well for me.  I agree I missed the more interesting   
   text, but it made the game a lot easier to understand.  Plus I still   
   used a number of things from 1e.   
      
   Spelljammer I only used the monsters, and had a hook in the campaign if   
   the players wanted to start spelljamming, but they didn't take it up.   
      
   Dark Suns I both played in and ran, but neither came out very well, both   
   were short and annoying.  The computer game was one of the better SSI   
   games though.
