Why 2nd over 3rd?

[Saithor]

Just joined, and since I was introduced to this game via the third edition, I just have a quick question, why is the game doing 2nd over 3rd instead? Not saying that it being 2nd edition is bad, just curious as to why, as all of the characters I have built are 3rd.

Because this site is much older than 3E, and switching everything over to 3E is such a job as to be impossible.

Opinions among the Refs regarding 3rd edition are mixed at best.  Several 3E changes got imported as house rules, so it's more like we're playing "2.5 edition."

Both Raveled and Shaen are correct, it's a little of both. I personally dislike the insane condensation of the skills list in 3E and how stuff like Leaping and Languages got nerfed hard. And also man, editing 100 sheets.

A third reason (which isn't the actual reason, but is helpful) is 3E has very little Freedom City material, moving to other locales instead.
