!!!Favorite D&D Edition!!!

[Bohemian]

What's your fav edition, and which do you play most regularly?

 

[seebs]

3.5, 3.5.

 

[Kelly]

I'll take 3 or 3.5 any day, and I've been playing since 1st edition.

Who remebers the 1e physical and mental diseases?
LOL! Who doesn't want to play a sado-masochistic Half-orc fighter with intestinal leeches!

I remember Appendix D in the original D&D Dungeonmasters Guide - the d100 encounter table for Ladies of the Night!

However these dyas I play 3.5 mainly. I only play one D&D game a week now though, I play mainly other rpgs - Cthulhu (which I have written supplements for), Unknown Armies, Ars Magica and other stuff.

2nd edition foo'!

Though the campaign settings where awesome, the mechanics were pretty lousy.

i mainly play 3 or 3.5 , but then again i am new to the game *shrug*

Only ever played 3rd.

Third edition as being the least flawed of the bunch. I do however believe that it still contains too many of the old anachronisms from the dark ages of roleplaying, prime among which being the totally unrealistic and restrictive level-based experience system.
Oh yes, and if I met the man behind the open sourcing of the D20 system in the street, I would shoot him. Well maybe not shoot him, but possibly heckle him, criticise him, and inquire as to how he can live with himself/sleep at night.

It's o.k. Gary, he didn't mean it! D&D is still cool!

- Dave Arneson fallen into disbelief
Stop it you two! D&D is king!

great pics bo,

I think those two photo's prove D&D is not satanic. Look at those guys! Did anyone catch GG's cameo on Futurama. He would roll dice to decide what to do/say. Funnay!

Yeah! Did you see the 1e Monster Manual he had, too?

Has anyone here played the Basic->Expert set D&D?

Has anyone here played the Basic->Expert set D&D?

Yes. Wasn't that a shameless way to make money? (Oops! Looks like you've got past level 3. Guess it's time to buy the next book!)

As for the original question, I have the fondest memories of the 2nd Edition system, though it's certainly not due to any simplicity or intuitiveness of the design. Probably just because when I played 2nd edition I had very little experience with other RPGs, and thus had not begun to abhor the war-games aspects of the character system, and the general hack and slash combat obsession that the game had.

What are some good campaign settings for 3e?
Did they ever come out with Dark Sun or Planescape for it?
