D&D General What editions of Dungeons & Dragons do you like?

I still play 3.5 and love it. Looking back at 2e, I really hate so much of it now. It really was quite dreadful.

I have seen plenty of 5e, read the core rules, and played one game of it. I liked what I saw, but I'll probably like it a lot more when Advanced 5e adds that much needed crunch to it that I'm looking for. I think it is unavoidable that I'll end up playing it some more in the near future.

Wasn't listed in the poll so I voted other.

B/X (Tom Moldvay, Dave Cook, Steve Marsh '81) is my all time favorite edition. It was the edition I started with and it is the edition I later revisited and fell back in love with. I include a lot of the newer retro-clones in this (Old-School Essentials, Basic Fantasy, etc).

3e and 4e are too rules-heavy for me. Too many feats, powers, and combos. I have zero interest in any of that stuff.

I like 5e well enough. Its decent for casual beer & pretzels gaming. But if I want something more serious and challenging, old-school editions are my preference.

I replied 2E (the Edition I started with) and "other" because B/X (Moldvay/Cook/Marsh) was not one of the options. Moldvay Basic is THE quintessential edition of D&D.
