[QUOTE="Vyvyan Basterd, post: 4769430, member: 4892"] For me the editions are like an anology for school. Basic D&D was kindergarten, it was new and because of this a bit unstructured and silly. It was where I learned more about social aspects than rules of the game. 1E was grade school. It started of just as silly and kindergarten but grew into a better understanding of deeper gaming. 2E was high school. The game became a little more serious and there were some subjects I didn't like. 3E was college. It started off as an exciting new venture. It was different and engaging. But as time wore on the subject material became more and more difficult and it was alot of work to reach the payoff. Now 4E is post-college. No more studying. I get to spend [B]my[/B]* time having fun. I have more freedom to do the extras that are enjoyable instead of crunching for a test. Like buying a big 1" square presentation pad and creating more dynamic and colorful poster maps instead of scribling out a crappy-looking hand drawn map during play on my battlemat. *(Work is an add-on that I am discounting from my anology since I have been working in one form or another since grade shool.)
