    2e was silly for a lot of reasons.

    I believe by 3e, it was generally just "Magic with Power Points" and a few incredibly janky spells/effects that made Psionics annoyingly overpowered.

        Love when D&D isn't about telling a cool story but about beating the DM to death with a bag full of dice.

            I mean, a lot of the time its just how the DM runs the game. They make it a meat grinder and the players go in expecting a meat grinder, so you get a full table of That Guys because... otherwise your character gets turned to paste inside the first ten minutes of the game.

            I remember the RPGA in college and it absolutely minted "That Guy" players because so many of the DMs were just in it to collect scalps.
