[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6642679, member: 6785485"] Well, to be honest, I bought it for this romantic notion that at some point I would like to learn & play all of the different editions of D&D. I read stories on here of old adventures/modules, the various systems, etc. and I have no idea of what those games were ever like. So, I decided to try to collect the 3 core books for all editions, with the idea of hopefully learning & playing all of them at some point. Thus far, I have all of the 5E books, the 3 core for 1E (just got last week), and I picked up the 2E DMG and PBH today, along with my RC (Unfortunately, they didn't have the 2E MM). A new guy at work said he has the 3E core books, but doesn't know anything about them, and said he would sell them to me. He's supposed to be bringing them in tomorrow for me to look at. I'm honestly hoping they are 3.5E, and in decent shape...we'll see.. I guess to answer your question, eventually I'd like to learn & play all of the various D&D systems and thought that the RC was the "Basic" system, while everything else was the "Advanced" system. I am still up in the air on OD&D. I don't want to drop the cash for an old white box set that isn't really a complete game. Old copies of Chainmail are priced like gold, and I can't even remember the other game needed to play OD&D...plus, I just can't afford to do all that, to be honest. Having said that, I WANT to try it, but the investment is too steep for me. [/QUOTE]
