D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

[Clint_L]

5e ecosystem is the complete answer. My table allows and thrives off of the major rule sets released in the Creative Commons.

Sort of this. I use the 2024 rules but they subsume 2014 pretty seamlessly, so when players use older species or subclasses, or I use older monsters or whatever, it’s not noticeable. So I use “5e.” From my player’s perspectives, we just play D&D; they mostly don’t know or care about editions and updates and so on.

Still finishing the 5e campaign, but think we will be 5.5e by Christmas if not sooner.

2024 alternating with Shadowdark.

Primarily A5E, so I voted 5e14. Also some occasional OSE.

I am running two 2014 5e games (with house rules) and play in one (with almost no house rules - much to my chagrin <---edit to add that I don't even mean I wish it used my own houserules, I just like houserules )

Shouldn’t there be a choice for homebrewed version of 5e? That will be my answer when I am done with these current games.

Currently playing in a 3.5-campaign. Have played every version except 5e (2024) since 1e, and as far as I know, my gaming group will not be trying it..

"I don't think he knows about secondary games, Pip."

I read OP's question "what version 'or its equivalent'" as offshoots like ToV/A5E etc. Or, more likely, your post has gone entirely over my head

"I don't think he knows about secondary games, Pip."

What does this mean?

I play PH only 5.0 with my kids, and A5e with mods with my friends. I also play DCC and/or Shadowdark when my friends who like those games can get together. I'm also fond of several games that most closely emulate B/X or BECMI of the official versions, but haven't been able to get a group together for them.

Solo in 2025: BX (+OSE), 1e, 2e, 5e24. 2e is slowly climbing to the top.

Group play: none.
