I was just curious.... any other D&D gamers out there? Any particular edition you play? If you say 2nd edition, I don't want to speak to you! Heh, just kidding.

Yup! Currently mostly running 3.5 with various house rules.

LOL, wasn't 3.5 supposed to be "the rules are finally fixed!" edition? Actually, my group is trying to migrate over from 3.0. We originally started playing AD&D back when we were in 6th grade. I miss the feel of the older game, but I sure do like the clarity of the rules system in 3.0, and even clearer in 3.5.

Yeah, exactly.

I play 2nd edition on occasion. I am usually the DM. Ever since 3rd came out, I decided it really wasn't worth it to go buy all the books over again(expensive as they are.) And, as the old saying goes: "Don't fix it if it isn't broken."

Playing since basic edition, like 1981, playing 3.5 and loving it.

Presently playing around w\3e. The thing cool about 2ed. was the campaign settings. With a little work they can fit with any edition, though.

We're currently playing 3.0 with the odd house rule.

I am playing 3.0, no house rules.

but latley playing more Hunter The Reckoning.

I am much liking the Unearthed Arcana "Gestalt Character" alternate rule. Pick two classes every level, take best-of-both-worlds. So, for instance, a fighter/wizard gets:
d10 hit die
+1 BAB
good fortitude save (for fighter level)
good will save (for wizard level)
spellcasting and bonus feats for wizard
bonus feats for fighter
2 skill points + int mod (because both classes get 2)

You get the idea. A lot of very cool combinations to be had there.

I used to love the D&D cartoon!!

Whaaaa?

I guess I need to check out the new UA.

 

[Kelly]

If you are into interesting 'house' type rules, you will enjoy UA.

I like both Unearthed Arcana and Arcana Unearthed. Monte Cook's book is amazing; more good ideas per page than anybody.

 

[Kelly]

Seebs did you DM or play "The Banewarrens" by Monte Cook? Whew...what an adventure. Took my group nearly a year of monthly all day sessions.

 

[seebs]

No, never saw that. Sounds cool.

 

[GreenPartyVoter]

Gamed some as a kid. I admit to playing a pixie named Tinkerbell. (hey, I was 10 when I rolled her up.)

Never got so into the game that I could rattle off stats or tell you how to apply modifiers. I was more into the social and storyline aspect of it.

Don't game anymore, and I miss it. But hubby and I do enjoy playing video game RPGs like Neverwinter and DungeonSiege.

 

[seebs]

My wife and I do a lot of one-on-one gaming. And no, I don't mean that as a euphemism.

It's unique in that the characters will most likely be terrified to open any chests or take any of the magical equipment they find.

The group i'm in is slowly getting fed up of D&D, basically and I may be repeating myself here and if I am I'm sorry, we used to play serveral different systems and take it in turns to run play them, when some new people who do D&D joined we started doing D&D but its kinda ended up where all we do its D&D, one of new guys D&D has just finished then its gone to my D&D, now when that finishes it'll be back to D&D with someone else....................its all too much D&D for the rest of old group and few are talking about quiting that group.
