I started with BECMI, went to 2e, then played with all subsequent editions except 4e. What 2e does better then 3e and 5e? Psionics. Also, Settings; for example, when I want to play Dark Sun I use 2e. Play is faster. Art also is generally better. What 2e does better then 1e? Psionics. THAC0...

S: Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, Lost Mines of Phandelver A: Descent into Avernus, Rime of the Frostmaiden, The Light Beyond the Wytchlight B: Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Tales of the Yawning Portal, Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Storm King's Thunder C: Out of the Abyss, Tyranny of...

Baba Yaga visited Earth; in her Hut there are Soviet Tanks and other things. In Pathfinder 1 Adventure path Reign of Winter, about Baba Yaga, you have sounder proof that Earth exists. Besides, if I remember correctly, there is a Becmi Immortal adventure in which you can visit New York. The...

- D&D3.0 has a more old school, sword&sorcery vibe, D&D 3.5 and P1 are more high fantasy. Plus, they trimmed some abusable spells and item. P1 characters are generally a bit stronger. Also, P1 is a bit more complex. - Your preference can be different about the classes (for example I reslly...

Elmore. Caldwell just behind. Then Easley.

Besides the DS Boxed Set, the essentials for me are Dragon Kings; The Will & The Way; Earth, Air, Fire & Water; Dune Trader; Monstrous Compendium DS Appendix. I also love Valley of Dust & Fire. The only good adventures are Dragon's Crown and Merchant House of Amketch.

For 3.5: Eberron Campaign Setting Splatbooks: I really love Tome of Battle aka Book of 9 Swords. Fiendish Codex I & II, MM3, Draconimicon are quality products. The "Complete" series is good. Adventures: from Dungeon magazine, Age of Worms and Savage Tide - I consider these adventure paths the...

For 3.0 (no 3.5): Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is excellent I personally like splatbooks such as the Book of Vile Darkness, Deities and Demigods, and Epic Level Handbook, but some don't like them I also suggest Crucible of Freya, Tomb of Abysthor and the first version (in three booklets)...

Actually, I love high level play, and I can say that 5e is easier then all previous editions at high level. My favourite campaigns ever are Age of Worms and Savage Tide (D&D3.5), both ending at Lvl 21-23. Or you could try Rappan Athuk, Sword of Air or City of Brass, all from Frog god Games...

I like very high stats! When I DM 5e/3.0/3.5/Pathfinder, I give the PCs 18, 14, 14, 10, 10, 10 to arrange as they like. When I DM BECMI/AD&D1e/2e, I use this method: roll 3d6 and change the lowest die to 6, six times, then arrange as desired. When I DM Dark Sun in AD&D2e, I use the last...

1) Tomb of Annihilation 2) Curse of Strahd 3) Descent into Avernus Runner up: 4) Rime of the Frostmaiden

In my opinion BECMI, AD&D1e, AD&D2e, D&D3.5 had an higher number of 10/10 products

Nostalgia can obscure judgement, but not necessarily

Hi there! We're at the end of the first 5e cycle (2014-2023) and before the 2024 rulebooks are published, we can reflect on various aspects in the history of the edition. In retrospect, I still believe that the 5e ruleset is the best ever produced, but I'm really disappointed at the overall...

I suggested some modules with memorable, epic dragon encounters. On the contrary, there are some modules centered on a Dragon villain that are average at best. For example, IMO, Dragon Mountain and all the adventures about Flame. Or even Tyranny of Dragons.
