[QUOTE="Jacob Lewis, post: 8782551, member: 6667921"] This looks like fun! Let me try... ahem... 1e the edition your parents and your pastors warned you about. Most popular with cultists and kids on bikes. 2e the edition that took you everywhere you didn't know you wanted to go and forced you to make some tough choices like when your parents divorced. Most popular with college kids still trying to hang on to their adolescence while rebelling against their parents for forced visitations. 3e the edition brought to you by Pokemon and the people who made a fortune on those card games. Most popular with fans and hobby store owners who thought they had witnessed the demise of D&D; much less popular when Hasbro tried to hit the "reset edition" button way too soon. 4e the edition that tried to win back everyone, including the shareholders, by changing the game with more modern design ideas and digital tools while trying to claim it is still the same game. Most popular with new players who have no idea what D&D was like before, and old players who thought it was time for a change but felt it didn't go far enough. 5e the edition that unapologetically walks back to everything that was simultaneously good and bad in previous editions, but secretly built on some of the best ideas of the last edition hoping no one will notice. Most popular with people who believe it is meant to played in front of an audience, and those who don't care anymore. Whatever. Let's just play already! OneD&D? It's already making the same promises that every other edition has made and failed to deliver. Who will enjoy it? Probably people who haven't grown tired of this treadmill yet. [/QUOTE]
