[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 4567871, member: 478"] Let's see... I would say that 4th Edition fits this best. Definitely 4th Edition here. The older editions are better then, with 3rd Edition being the best (IMHO) for a small group, but mostly this point seems irrelevant for the question. All editions have a good Core, I believe. 4th Edition is probably the most well-rounded with Core only, though. That's generally not the assumption in D&D, but should be doable with all editions. Now this is something where 4th Edition definitely takes the last rank. All the other editions have more and more fun out-of-combat options. While the old editions do not require a map at all, in 3rd Edition it's obviously helpful, while in 4th Edition it's pretty much a must. Simple maps are more than enough, though. The planning part is mostly an issue in 3rd Edition, where it is required, if you want to use Prestige Classes. In 4th Edition the character development is a bit limited, due to it being predetermined due to your initial choices pretty much, despite having choice. At least there is some choice, though, in the older editions you are pretty much set once you have chosen your class as well. Only 3rd Edition really offers flexibility here. I think that all editions cover this one. This is unrelated to the rules. That definitely fits the older editions better, but I'm sure that all editions can be played in a narrative style. All editions. Dunno. Savage Worlds? :D Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
