[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7348202, member: 2629"] * Basic & Expert - 1977 to 78 - I cut my teeth as a 5 and 6 year old kid. Rules were... questionably followed. AD&D from 1979 to 2004 - 20+ full campaigns that ran from low level to at least level 11... Most to 20th level or above. 2nd edition 1989 to 2000 - A few games here and there, but I was mostly playing AD&D during this era. 3rd edition (including 3.5) 2000 to 2008 - I played this very heavily during this era, especially once they moved to 3.5 (pour one out for Andy Collins). 4E 2008 to 2012 - We switched to it, but in retrospect I regret doing so. It was not D&D. Playing time dwindled as people I played with began to prioritize other things over D&D. 5E - 2012 to present. Once the playtest was out there, I had multiple games in play. 4E was phased out (with the exception of one game that played every few months) and we've been playing a lot since. So, AD&D > 3E > 5E > 2E > 4E >Basic/Expert. I fully expect 5E to surpass 3E in play time sometime in the next year or so, but I do not think it has, yet. [/QUOTE]
