[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6677517, member: 5834"] I think 2E and 3E were the Golden Eras of D&D. The peak of 2E was a pretty amazing time. 2E I would call the game store era. Game stores were thriving when 2E was at its peak and there tournaments and store games everywhere. I remember being able to find stores thriving on D&D everywhere during the 2E era. I've never seem the game so active as it was during 3E. The OGL was an amazing creation that grew the community and allowed it to thrive as it had never before. I would consider 3E the "3rd party" era where D&D formed the central city of a massive empire of gaming. 5E has a long ways to go to match those two eras. It's starting off well enough. It's getting the most media exposure of any edition with shows like [I]Critical Role[/I] and Chris Perkins pushing the game amongst celebs. Way more of a mainstream push than I've ever seen. Let's also not forget that this may not be a Golden Era for D&D on the table top, but it may be one for video games and movies. We'll have to see. [/QUOTE]
