Do you like D&D?

[CGoat]

For me it isn't so much this game is better over that one... It is the GM that makes or breaks a game. When I was playing earlier editions of D&D I had crappy GM's (didn't know it at the time) But since I've found some new GM's that are amazing... that happened to coincide with 3.0 and 3.5 so of course I like those games better.

Now my only gripe is people that don't do anything in the game... "oh I'll be back hear guarding the other hallway just incase monsters come out that door."

As for Fluff and Crunch. That also relies on your GM a lot. I have one GM that has a world that is so detailed its insane. but this also burnt him out. He would spend many hours setting up a game... then us knucklheads would just do dumb things... and he wonders why he doesn't just kill us. The other uses moduels... but he's so good with rules and running monsters that the games are intense. You finish a battle and your thankfull to be alive and know that the gm didn't pull any punches. A very satisfying experience.

And finally I'm with a group of people that are all very good role players. And that makes a world of difference.

D&D? What is this D&D of which you speak?

well it ain't what is in the story hour in my sig.

Olgar Shiverstone is the DM for the d02 game i play.

I've played every edition at one point or another, and I like 3.5 much, much more that any other edition. Each had their good points, but in the end 3.5 wins out for me.

You really didn't have the option that I wanted - something along the lines of "I like D&D, but like game X better", so I selected the next to last option ("I prefer any game over the current edition of D&D") since it came the closest to what my actual choice would have been.

And of course, my "any game" is HARP. There should be no doubts about that.

For those who voted against the current edition or don't play it --

Why are you here?

Honestly, what benefit do you gain from EN World? It seems like 99%+ of the message board topics, reviews, etc. here are geared towards 3e or 3.5e. So again, I ask, in all sincerity and without sarcasm:

Why are you here?

 

[Gnarlo]

Moderately prefer is the option I had to pick. I like 3(.5)e a lot, but I do prefer 1e's ability to whip together a party within 10 minutes. Hell, 5 if you'd played before and people didn't have to share a pencil

Well it's more like this is a 3.x D&D (D20) board so it is really no wonder that the poll looks like it does now. Everything else would have been fairly desastrous, no? Asking the same question on Dragonsfoot or similar boards would give you totally different results. So the whole thing is a bit of patting yourself on the back

Um, I sort of think you missed the point of the thread.

Being, that considering that this is a 3e/d20 primarily board, the amount of bashing of it is astonishing. But yeah, I think the poll tells the story.

I've enjoyed playing each edition of D&D as they came out. I don't hold any particular dislike of previous editions, but I don't have any real desire to go back and use them again, either.

My first character was a LG fighter with an 18 Charisma who didn't think he was worthy of being a paladin. He didn't need a prestige class to describe his particular version of LG fighterness. I supplied the details. With my brain, that I raised up from mediocrity with frequent use.

Exercise is good for your brain.

Give that man a ceee-garrr!!
