Message: <blockquote data-quote="JiffyPopTart" data-source="post: 2904675" data-attributes="member: 4881">My favorite bits of the different editions....1e(basic): Taking the red Erol Otis artworked book to 3rd grade and trying to make sense of obscure words like initiative and periapt.1e(advance): I never owned these, I only read them when I could borrow them from friends.  I had no idea that it was not the "same" game as 1e(basic), I just thought it was more info.  I LOVED to read the monster books.2e: The first version I actually played, as opposed to read.  What we played in HS and I have plenty of fond memories.  I always hated the fighter in this edition because I could never figure out who in their right mind would want to be one instead of a Paladin or Ranger.  Has the best monster book ever made (the black covered Monstrous Encyclopedia with the ecologies in it).3e: Took me out of my Warhammer 40k phase.  Heck of a lot cheaper to adopt.  Loved the effort made to "balance" everything.  Being a 40k player I liked the tactical wargame focus of the new edition, it made combats much more than "I attack". 4e: Looking forward to the future, if I had to chart a course I would say....merge some skills...simplify running higher level games somehow...remember to include some good fluff with the cruch.  I think that the Forgotten Realms campaign book is one of the best books written so far because its something I can actually sit and read 10 or more pages and not see a table or chart, only storyline.DS</blockquote>
