I'm curious how many folks on ENWorld have ever played the older editions, and what their level of satisfaction was. Or is, if you are one of the rare birds that are still keeping it Old School.This week I'd like to examine the B/X or BECM Edition. Have you played it before? or are you still playing it? What do you think about it?By "played," I mean that you've been either a player or a DM for at least one gaming session. By "playing," I mean you have an ongoing gaming group that still actively plays this version, however occasionally. And for the purpose of this survey, I'm only referring to the 1981 Basic/Expert set, written by Tom Moldvay and David Cook (which was then revised and expanded two years later by Frank Mentzer).  These two books, right here:[ATTACH=full]120154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120155[/ATTACH]Note that this edition is different from the revised and expanded "BECM" edition, which came in four different boxes and were published from 1983-1985.   And it's not the other "<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-basic-d-d-how-was-is-it.670870/" target="_blank">Holmes Basic</a>" edition, that was published in 1977.Feel free to add nuance in your comments, but let's not have an edition war over this. I'm really just interested in hearing peoples' stories of playing the "Moldvay Basic" rules, and what they remembered (for better or worse) about it.Next week we will tackle the BECM version. So if that's your flavor of choice, I hope to hear from you next week.Other Surveys<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-od-d-how-was-is-it.670779/" target="_blank">OD&D</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-basic-d-d-how-was-is-it.670870/" target="_blank">Basic D&D</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-1e-ad-d-how-was-is-it.670977/" target="_blank">AD&D 1E</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-becm-rc-d-d-how-was-is-it.671237/" target="_blank">BECMI / Rules Cyclopedia</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-ad-d-2e-how-was-is-it.671382/#post-7958983" target="_blank">AD&D 2E</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-3rd-edtion-d-d-how-was-is-it.671476/#post-7963141" target="_blank">D&D 3E</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-did-do-you-play-4th-edition-d-d-how-was-is-it.671597/post-7968258" target="_blank">D&D 4E</a><a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-experience-compiled-survey-results-all-surveys.671694/" target="_blank">Survey Results (24 Apr 2020)</a></blockquote>
