[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8686488, member: 19857"] Oh I [I]own[/I] more than 3. But I only paid TSR for 3 (2 really - the first was a gift). Finding cheap used copies of the Rules Cyclopedia in the early 00s was too good to pass up, even if I couldn't actually find anyone who wanted to play it. (For me personally BECMI D&D will be my favorite D&D because it's so nostalgic. But unless I find other 50 year old grognards who grew up with BECMI instead of 1e I probably won't ever be able to actually run it again. Even my long term gaming group who are my age won't play any version of D&D older than 4e at this point. I've also tried with my 14 year old who loves 5e and it's tough to convince them that it's even the same game. But it was fun to see their reaction to the different XP tables for each class and race-as-class mechanics. One of these days I'm going to run them through a Palladium game and see if I can blow their mind even more) [/QUOTE]
