I am 48 year old pretending to be an elf. You gonna have to be more specific about this growing up business! But while I started with B/X we moved to AD&D 1e within the first year of playing the game.

My vote would be Orcus!

I think they do a better job than I would. But personally I would like to see a loose series of adventures released (like in 1e) and a tactical options rulebook which really pushes the 5e framework as far as it can go with regards to further options for martial characters and monsters in...

Hardly any in my recent 5e or 4e campaigns. In 4e we went from 1st to 30th level in 4-5 months!

I think this is key. I dont think that D&D has ever really given great direction to DMs in high level play - and I think 5e is no exception. For one thing high level play often involves players dictating the action and changing the campaign world. This requires having DMs who are both able to...

I play games other than D&D and I am always struck with D&D is the way progression of your character is so dramatic and addictive. In marvel heroic, pendragon and traveller, progression is pretty minor. The zero to hero progression in D&D is so dramatic, and sometimes runs against sensible story...

Elmo from Hommlet (not the tickle me version!)

The actor who plays Amos has to use his "I am that guy" line.

Eventually I would like to see a 6e. I would like to see more opportunities to customize characters from the start. A feat at first level would be a good start. I also dont like the trade off between ASIs and feats. Basically, more feats - just not pathfinder level of more feats. I would...

We use roll20 maps on a large 55"' TV for all combats but we roll dice on the table.

I rode a dinosaur (triceratops) for one combat after I killed the hobgoblin rider. Good fun!

In 4e my Ranger had a Demonbane Greatbow which was a +6 weapon (I guess it would be +3 in 5e) but not an artifact. As its name suggests, it was useful against demons which were extremely plentiful in high level 4e.

I mostly play one or two long campaigns per edition, but I measure my time with editions with levels rather than time IRL. 1e- 3e campaigns all petered out by about 12th-13th level. I remember being really burnt out with DMing by the end of 3e. I played up to 30th level in 4e and absolutely...

While 4e was the most naturally adapt at this play-style, I would say that there are many non D&D games that are focused and balanced by the encounter and do not have daily resources. You should give marvel heroic a try (which is based on various superheroes) for some quick fun. It is based on...

Agree. Different types of pacing within editions in addition to pacing across editions is an issue that makes comparisons really tricky. We had a lot of encounters in mid to high level 4e where were beyond level +4, if you had daily powers or even party synergised encounter powers on tap. We...

No we had a homebrewed campaign which at low levels was based on B10 Night's Dark Terror. We had a TPK around 5th level were we got caught up in overlapping auras or blasts from from some undead and went down quickly. It was rather embarrassing because by the time we worked out we were in...

Agree with the OP. I found 2e to be really deadly, especially at low and mid levels. I think part of it was the maths but I remember quite few save or die deaths. I also found 4e to be quite deadly, despite the manifold forms of healing. I think a mid to high level the various Auras and area...

I hope to. I never played PF1 but I played 3.5/4/5E and I am interested in a game with more crunch than 5E. I think it is obviously good for the hobby to have another option.
