[QUOTE="bbgun21, post: 6827435, member: 6816791"] [FONT=verdana]Hello D&D community, I have to say me and my friends have been always being fascinated with D&D and even better the community is great and really helpful. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Now what we wanted to ask you folk is can you help us get started with D&D since we've never played the Pen-and-Paper, our knowledge goes through PC games (Baldurs Gate 1,2 , NWN 1,2, Icewind Dale 1,2 etc...) so we know the basics of both AD&D and 3.0/3.5 edition. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Now I know it's easy for us to just google our question and get started since there are TONS of guides out there which we've read on how to get started and what we need, [B]BUT[/B] the thing that is bothering us and which is why we are asking you for our help is simple.[/FONT] [FONT=verdana]What edition to choose to play with ? [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Now what we have seen through web research is only guides for 4th edition and 5th, none for AD&D and 3.0/3.5, the reason is because our local game shop sells AD&D,3.5,4th and 5th player handbooks and monster manual with dungeon masters guide, so we don't know should we go with the ones we are familiar with or with the new editions ? [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]So far what we have seen is that alot of people say that 4th and 5th edition is newbie friendly, while 3.5 edition gives more 'freedom', any opinions on this ? [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Hopefully, you folk can help us get started as we have so far been enjoying the games we've played and seeing the difference between the P&P and video games is what made us to go out there and get started. [/FONT] [FONT=verdana]Thanks in forward, even if we don't get any answers, I just wish to say again that the community has so far been best for how far we've seen it.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
