[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7877912, member: 15700"] 1e with 2e elements has been my favorite edition since I started in 1981 (well 1e until 1989 obviously). Didn't like 3e. Way too much numbers bloat and didn't like how pretty much everyone was assumed to multiclass at some point. I am not a fan of min/maxing, so naturally I came to odds with 3e over that. Didn't like 4e, because it didn't feel like a D&D game to me, for reasons already mentioned upthread. Even after 5e came out, I still said 1e/2e was my favorite even though I play 5e way more than those now. In all honesty, if I asked myself what edition I would want to play tonight, it' would probably be 5e. So I guess this old grognard has a new favorite edition? I don't think it's perfect (no edition is), but it's so easy to run, easier to play, and I love how it's way easier to achieve desired PC archetypes between backgrounds, subclasses, and feats. I don't need, nor want, a gazillion options (looking at you 3e), but the way the aforementioned structure of 5e works, it covers pretty much everything I want. As long as I use the slower healing rules options ;) Now just bring back that cool black and white line art! Not everything has to be color. [/QUOTE]
