Message: <blockquote data-quote="Coroc" data-source="post: 7804350" data-attributes="member: 6895991">1e has some adventures who are heavy into hack'n'slash2e I strongly and absolutely disagree. It has some of the best stuff on a level never reached again in D&DSeveral of the Ravenloft adventures for 2e stick out there. Absolutely detailed NPC characters, partially playable w/o altering much. If you are categorizing adventures by how little work a DM has to put into them to make them suitable for his table, then I agree there are some 2e adventures who plot- and idea wise are absolutely top, but unplayable as written, you gotta do a lot of adaptive work as a DM.Planescape, Darksun, partially Dragonlance although this is a railroad, those are fantastic settings because the plot is great, the ideas are unconventional. Just read Shemeskas planescape story hour on this forum, then you learn what can be doen with a setting like planescape, although I believe he used 3rd ed.3e did not play PnP during that time but has some good stuff, Eberron comes to mind. 4e nope5e did play LMOP now did like it but it does not stand out, it is a great adventure for beginners but not so much for experienced players. OOTA   the thing I play now, so no spoilers pls. I really love this one although the underdark presented in the menzoberranzan 2e set and other 2e products seems more grim sometimes.Generally 5e is the best edition for tabletop, there cannot be any doubt about it. Other editions had their features, which some people like but some of their aspects are a absolute PITA for smooth tabletop RP:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1e/2e: THAC0, saving throws, loads of tables, low level killer-spells like sleep and hold person.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">3e: buff a lo mania, leveldip multiclass for powercreep, expected magic item level, feature prerequisites. - 4e: Everything the same but with different names for it, the failed attempt to put WOW like mmorpg to</li> </ul>a table, combat taking up eternities.</blockquote>
