[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7359752, member: 6775477"] Based on hours played: 1) 1st Edition AD&D - was a teenager, and we had lots of free time. In addition, when 2E came out, we were hesitant to switch, playing 1E for quite a bit longer. 2) 2nd Edition AD&D - played this one mostly in college. Not as much free time as a teenager, but played at least 5 hours every week, with the occasional epic 12-16 hour sessions. Came back to it for a while after 4E lost it's luster. 3) 3rd Edition D&D (including 3.5) - played this one from beginning to end of the edition, but only played every other week because we played Legend of the Five Rings on alternate weeks. This pushed it behind 2E, despite playing it for more years. 4) 5th Edition D&D (including D&D Next) - signed up for the playtest day 1, and tried to convince everyone to playtest it with me. Since the release of Ghost of Dragonspear Castle I've regularly played 4-5 Hours a week, and see no signs of stopping. 5) 4th Edition D&D - played it until Essentials came out, but mostly because I didn't like Pathfinder. I missed a lot of sessions, and due to life circumstances the sessions were usually short anyway, lasting 2-3 hours at most. 6) BECMI - played around with this back in high school, mostly one shots and mini-campaigns. Eventually incorporated aspects of it into our 1E game rather than deciding between the two. 7) Pathfinder - not really D&D per say, but others have included it. While it fixed several problems from 3E, the core mechanics of 3E were my issue. Played maybe a handful of sessions, just to give it a chance, but it wasn't for me. I never played OD&D, but would have been willing to if I found a group. [/QUOTE]
